This Roasted Turkey is juicy, tender, flavorful and perfectly golden brown and crispy on the outside.
01
Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside until you are ready to coat the turkey.

Bring the turkey to room temperature for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 500F with the rack low. Remove neck and giblets, dry, and season. Stuff with vegetables and apple, and place the turkey on veggies in a roasting pan.
03
Lift the skin up from the breast and smear herb butter under the skin then smear the rest of the skin on top of the bird with the remaining herb butter.
04
Bake for 30 minutes at 500 degrees then place foil just ontop of the breast (see picture).
05
Reduce heat to 350F and roast for an additional 1 1/2-2 hours or until the turkey reaches 161-165F.
Allow the turkey to rest for 1 hour before slicing into it.
