Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh sage and oregano leaves. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Don't overstuff the turkey. This will make it difficult to cook evenly.
- Truss the turkey securely. This will help it hold its shape while cooking.
- Roast the turkey at a high temperature for the first 30 minutes, then reduce the heat. This will help the turkey brown evenly.
- Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with the honey-lemon glaze. This will help keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
This sage and oregano rubbed turkey with honey-lemon glaze is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its crispy skin, moist meat, and flavorful glaze, this turkey is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special turkey recipe, give this one a try.
