Creating the perfect Roasted Turkey is straightforward when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Prep Turkey: Remove the turkey giblets from the cavity and pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
3. Season the Turkey: In a bowl, mix the softened butter, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and sage to create a herb butter.
4. Rub the Butter: Carefully loosen the skin over the turkey breast and rub about half of the herb butter directly onto the meat underneath the skin. Rub the remaining butter all over the outside of the turkey.
5. Stuff the Turkey: If using stuffing, pack it into the cavity, ensuring it’s not overserved. If not, place the quartered onion, lemon, and smashed garlic inside the cavity.
6. Add Broth: Pour the chicken broth into a large roasting pan. This will keep the turkey moist during roasting.
7. Truss the Turkey: Tuck the wing tips under the body, and if desired, tie the legs together with kitchen twine.
8. Roast the Turkey: Place the turkey on a roasting rack in the pan, breast side up. Roast, basting every 30 minutes with the broth, until a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.
9. Rest: Remove the turkey from the oven, cover it loosely with foil, and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes. This will keep the juices intact and make for easier carving.
10. Carve and Serve: Once rested, carve the turkey and serve it on a platter, ready for enjoying.

By following these simple steps, you’ll create an incredible roasted turkey that boasts a crispy exterior and moist, flavorful meat.
