Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- 2. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, basil, Italian seasoning, black pepper and salt. Set aside.
- 3. Wash the turkey inside and out; pat dry. Remove any large fat deposits.
- 4. Loosen the skin from the breast. This is done by slowly working your fingers between the breast and the skin.
- 5. Work it loose to the end of the drumstick, being careful not to tear the skin.
- 6. Using your hand, spread a generous amount of the rosemary mixture under the breast skin and down the thigh and leg.
- 7. Rub the remainder of the rosemary mixture over the outside of the breast.
- 8. Use toothpicks to seal skin over any exposed breast meat.
- 9. Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan. Add about 1/4 inch of water to the bottom of the pan.
- 10. Roast in the preheated oven 3 to 4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the bird reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
