"In this method, which can be used with all types of poultry, olive
oil infused with garlic and rosemary is rubbed between the skin and
meat of the bird before roasting."
Prep Time: 25 Minutes
Cook Time: 4 Hours
Ready In: 4 Hours 45 Minutes
Servings: 16

3/4 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp ground black pepper
Salt to taste
1 (12 lb) whole turkey

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.
Loosen the skin from the breast. This is done by slowly working your
fingers between the breast and the skin. Work it loose to the end of
the drumstick, being careful not to tear the skin.

4. Using your hand, spread a generous amount of the rosemary mixture
under the breast skin and down the thigh and leg. Rub the remainder of
the rosemary mixture over the outside of the breast. Use toothpicks to
seal skin over any exposed breast meat.

5. Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan. Add about 1/4 inch of
water to the bottom of the pan. Roast in the preheated oven 3 to 4 hours,
or until the internal temperature of the bird reaches 180 degrees F
(80 degrees C).
