Kick off the holidays with a delicious, seasoned, roasted turkey.
Perfectly Seasoned Roasted Turkey
- 1 (18 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
- 2 cups Natural Sea Salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 onions chopped
- 4 carrots chopped
- 4 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup dry white wine
- Oliviers&Co Extra Virgin Olive Oil to taste
Directions:
Rub the turkey inside & out with the kosher salt. Place the bird in a large stock pot, & cover with cold water. Place in the refrigerator, and allow the turkey to soak in the salt & water mixture 12 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse the turkey, inside & out and pat dry.
Using half the melted butter, brush the turkey. Place breast side down on a roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan. Stuff the turkey cavity with 1 onion, 1/2 the carrots, 1/2 the celery, 1 sprig of thyme, and the bay leaf. Scatter the remaining vegetables and thyme around the bottom of the roasting pan, & cover with the white wine.
Roast uncovered 3 1/2 to 4 hours in the preheated oven, until the internal temperature of the thigh reaches 180 degrees F (85 degrees C). Carefully turn the turkey breast side up about 2/3 through the roasting time, and brush with the remaining butter. Allow the bird to stand about 30 minutes before carving.
