Paula's traditional recipe for roasting a turkey on those special occasions.

Ingredients

1 1/2 sticks butter, room-temperature
2 tablespoons parsely, chopped
2 tablespoons thyme, chopped
2 tablespoons rosemary, chopped
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 12 lb turkey, fresh or defrosted
1 onion, quartered
1 stalk celery, chunked
1 carrot, chunked
1 head garlic, cut in half horizontally

Instructions

Heat oven to 375 °.
Combine butter, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Place the turkey breast-side up in a roasting pan fitted with a v rack, taking care to tuck the wings under the bottom of the bird.
Sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper. Place the onion, celery, carrot and garlic inside the bird.
Using your hands, rub the turkey with the butter mixture.
Roast for 18 minutes per pound (for a 12-pound bird that’s roughly 3 1/2 hours). The turkey is finished roasting when the thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165 ° and the juices run clear.
Tent the turkey loosely with foil and rest for 20 minutes before carving.
