Ingredients

⅓ cup butter, softened

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 (10 to 16-pound) JENNIE-O® All Natural Fresh Whole Turkey

2 lemons, quartered

2 garlic bulbs, halved

Directions

In small bowl, combine butter, parsley, thyme and pepper.

Inserting your hand under turkey skin, separate skin from flesh across turkey breast and legs; rub with butter mixture. Secure skin with toothpicks.

Fill cavities with lemons and garlic. Roast until timer pops up and turkey is fully-cooked, 180°F as measured by a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh. ALWAYS confirm doneness with a meat thermometer. Juices should run clear. Let turkey stand 20 minutes before carving.

Always cook to an internal temperature of 165°F.
