Thanksgiving Turkey
Am trying this recipe - wanted to keep it simple
1 12-lb turkey
3/4 c. olive oil
2 tblsp garlic powder
2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp ground sage
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1. Preheat Oven to 325 degrees F. Clean Turkey (discard giblets and organs), and place in a 9x13 in pan.
2. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and apply the mixture to the outside of the turkey.
3. Bake according to directions on turkey (probably 3 - 3 1/2 hrs, or until internal temp of the thickest part of the thigh measures 180 degrees F). Remove from oven and let stand 30 mins before carving.
