OVEN ROASTED TURKEY WITH SAGE BUTTER - TYLER FLORENCE
I made this last year for Thanksgiving, my very first bird...it was absolutely amazing and made me look super impressive! I am making it again this year too. My husband said I had too, LOL! I found this recipe on the Food Network in 2007. The key to my turkey last year, however, was I Brined it with Recipe#13961 and finished it using this recipe and even made Caramelized Onion and Cornbread Stuffing as a Dressing, which goes along with this Turkey. Another Tyler Florence ULTIMATE! Note: Cooking time does not include the step of Brining it the night before if you choose to do so. Enjoy!

ROAST TURKEY WITH SAGE BUTTER
This has been a family request every Thanksgiving. I have used the sage butter for turkey breasts. This brings out the flavor of the turkey without hiding it enhancing what is already there. You MUST baste. Else you end up with my sister's Desert Turkey. Origin was an Epicurious recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and remove the top rack of the oven.
- Put the butter and sage in a mixing bowl and mash with a fork or spoon until the sage is well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
- Rinse the bird thoroughly inside and out with cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the cavity and skin liberally with salt and pepper. Using your fingers, gently lift the skin from the turkey breast and slip the remaining seasoned butter under, massaging the breast meat as you go. Truss the bird by crossing the legs over one another and tying with a piece of kitchen twine. Shingle the bacon strips over the breast so it's totally covered. Put the turkey on a rack in a large roasting pan, cover the turkey with aluminum foil, and place in the oven.

When done take the turkey out of the oven and put the roasting pan on the stovetop. Transfer the turkey to a serving tray to rest at least 20 minutes before carving. Serve with gravy.

Tips:
- Thaw the turkey properly: Thaw the turkey in the refrigerator for 4-5 days or in cold water for 30 minutes per pound. Never thaw the turkey at room temperature.
- Dry the turkey thoroughly: Pat the turkey dry with paper towels before roasting. This will help the skin crisp up.
- Use a roasting pan with a rack: This will allow the turkey to cook evenly and prevent it from sitting in its own juices.
- Season the turkey generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and herbs to season the turkey. You can also add a compound butter or olive oil mixture under the skin for extra flavor.
- Roast the turkey at a high temperature: Start by roasting the turkey at 450°F for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F and continue roasting until the turkey is cooked through.
- Use a meat thermometer: The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh.
- Let the turkey rest: Let the turkey rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
