Preparation
- Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey. Pat the bird dry with paper towels. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before roasting.
- In a bowl, mix softened butter with chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Loosen the skin over the turkey breasts and rub the butter underneath and over the outside of the turkey.
- Stuff the cavity with the onion, garlic, and extra herb sprigs.
Roasting
- Arrange chopped carrots and celery in the bottom of a large roasting pan and place the turkey breast-side up on a roasting rack over the vegetables. Pour the chicken broth into the base of the pan.
- Roast at 325°F uncovered, basting every 45 minutes with pan juices. Tent with foil if the breast browns too fast.
- Roast for about 15 minutes per pound until the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F.
- Let the turkey rest for 20-30 minutes before carving to allow juices to redistribute.
