While recovering from hip surgery, I wrote my family for some of their favorite recipes to compile into a cookbook. This seasoned turkey is timeless. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed |
1-1/2 teaspoons grated fresh or dried orange peel |
1-1/2 teaspoons grated fresh or dried lemon peel |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 turkey (13 to 15 pounds) |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan; pat dry. Brush with oil; rub rosemary mixture over turkey.
2. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.) Cover and let stand for 20 minutes before carving. Yield: 13-15 servings.
