Ingredients

5-6kg Whole turkey (thawed)
200g Butter (softened)
Handful each Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage)
2 Onions (quartered)
4 Carrots (chopped)
500ml Chicken broth
To taste Salt and pepper

Method

Preheat oven to 165°C. Remove giblets from the turkey and pat dry with paper towels. This recipe serves 10-12 people, ideal for a family Christmas dinner.
In a bowl, mix softened butter with chopped herbs, salt, and pepper to create a herb butter. Gently loosen the skin over the breast and rub half the butter under the skin, then rub the rest over the outside.
Stuff the cavity with quartered onions and some herbs. Place chopped carrots and remaining onions in the bottom of a large roasting pan as a base.
Position the turkey breast-side up on the vegetable base. Pour broth into the pan. Tent loosely with foil.
Roast for about 3-4 hours (20 minutes per kg), basting every 30 minutes with pan juices. Remove foil in the last hour to brown the skin.
Check internal temperature reaches 75°C in the thickest part. Let rest for 30 minutes before carving. Serve with stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, and sides like mashed potatoes and green beans.
