This recipe is from Taste of Home Perfection published November 2008
Ingrediants:
1/4 cup minced fresh sage
1/4 cup minced fresh rosemary
1 turkey (14 pounds)
1 medium apple, quartered
1 medium onion, halved
1 celery rib, halved
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup apple jelly, warmed
Directions:
Combine sage and rosemary. with fingers, carefully loosen skin from the turkey breast; rub herbs under the skin. Secure skin to the underside of breast with toothpicks.
Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Stuff turkey with apple, onion and celery. Brush with butter.
Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.) Brush with apple jelly. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before removing toothpicks and carving.
This was the first turkey I had ever cooked, I made it for Christmas dinner and it came out really well. We brined it beforehand and it was really easy and really great.
