Savory Oven-Baked Turkey
It's the time of year! The holidays are knocking on our door! This Savory Oven Baked Turkey is a perfect dish for family gatherings on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas or any other family dinner. It is comforting, delicious, and healthy! Holiday food doesn’t have to be heavy and fatty and caloric. I will show you!
Ingredients
- 7 lb whole turkey I used the one from Butcher Box
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried sage
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Remove giblets from turkey and place breast side down in a roasting pan or broiling pan (I like using the grates to keep the turkey crispy).
- Brush oil on the breast side and underside of the turkey.
- Mix seasonings and rub generously on both sides of the turkey.
- Place in the center rack of the oven and cook until the thickest part of the thigh is at least 165 degrees (about 15-20 minutes per pound).
- When the turkey seems close to being done (~10-15 minutes), rotate it so the breast side is facing upward and cook until finished.
