Herb Roasted Turkey
1 fresh, turkey
2 cups white wine
1 stick Butter
5 sprigs fresh rosemary
6 sprigs fresh thyme
6 leaves, fresh sage
1 lemon, 1 apple and 1 onion
Salt and pepper

Equipment:
Foil
Wooden skewers (soaked in water)
Meat thermometer
Pastry brush
Turkey baster

Directions:
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Take your hand and run it between the skin and the meat of the breast, creating an envelope.
• Insert the herbs in this space.
• As the turkey roasts, the herbs will infuse the meat with flavor. Depending on what size turkey you have, you may not need all the herbs.
• Cut up the lemon, apple and onion and place the chunks in the turkey cavity.
• Take your wooden skewers and close up the opening.
• Melt the stick of butter and white wine in a small saucepan.
• Using a pastry brush, liberally brush the turkey with the wine and butter mixture.
• Cover the turkey loosely; making a tent with the foil.
• Place the turkey in the oven and cook according to instructions based on weight.
• After the first hour, baste the turkey with the juice, butter and wine mixture at the bottom of the roasting pan.
• Check to make sure that the legs and the breast are not browning too quickly.
• About 15 minutes before the turkey is done, remove the foil and turn the oven to 450 degrees F. Watch carefully while you allow the turkey to brown.
• The turkey is done when a meat thermometer reads, 180 degrees F. when inserted in the thickest part of the turkey thigh.
• After you remove the turkey from the oven, allow the turkey to rest for about 20 minutes, before carving. Resting allows the juices to re-distribute themselves throughout the turkey ensuring a juicier bird.
