Easy Olive Oil and Herb Roasted Turkey
 
Ingredients:
  • 1 (12 pound) whole turkey, thawed if frozen, neck and giblets removed, and rinsed and patted dry
  • 3/4 cup STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place turkey in a roasting pan with a lid.
2. In a small bowl, combine STAR Butter Flavored Olive Oil, dried basil, 2 sprigs of the rosemary chopped, salt, and black pepper. Using a basting brush, apply the mixture to the outside of the uncooked turkey. Place the remaining sprigs of rosemary inside the turkey. Then pour water into the bottom of the roasting pan, and cover.
3. Bake for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the
thigh measures 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove bird from oven, and allow to
