TURKEY HERB BUTTER
1 TBSP Turkey Rub
1 Stick (1/4 Cup) Butter
Let butter stand till room temperature (soft- not melted).
Blend Turkey Rub with the butter thoroughly. Roll into a
log, wrap in wax paper, freeze until frozen. When ready,
slice herb butter into slices. Working from the neck end,
slide fingers under skin until you reach the end of the
breast, being careful not to tear the skin. Place butter
slices under the skin-filling all areas. Rub remaining butter
on the outside of the turkey. Tent turkey loosely with foil.
Roast 1 hour, basting every 30 minutes with pan liquids,
until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest
part of thigh (avoiding hitting the bone) registers 125°,
about 3 hours. Remove foil; raise oven heat to 400°.
Continue roasting, basting occasionally, until thigh
reaches 180°, 45 to 60 minutes more. Tent with foil if
turkey browns too quickly, adding more water to pan if it
becomes to dry. Transfer turkey to a serving platter, cover
loosely with foil. Let it rest at least 30 minute before
carving.
