  3. Season & Cook Turkey

    Sprinkle salt into the cavity of the bird then stuff the bird with garlic, lemon & herbs. Truss bird then rub with spice mix. Place on a rack and into the oven at 375F degrees for 15 minutes to let the bird dry a bit. Remove bird from oven. Lightly cover the bird with foil. This prevents the spices from turning black. Place back into the oven for 2 hours or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the breast reads 163F degrees. Remove from heat and let rest for at least 20 minutes. Why rest? To maximize juiciness!
