Serves: 10–12 | Time: 4 hours (plus resting)
INGREDIENTS
• 10–12 lb whole turkey
• 1⁄4 cup olive oil or butter, softened
• 4–6 tablespoons Gourmet Inspirations No Fuss Turkey Rub
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
2. Remove turkey from refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting to bring closer to
room temperature.
3. Pat the turkey dry inside and out with paper towels.
4. In a small bowl, mix together softened olive oil or butter with Gourmet
Inspirations No Fuss Turkey Rub.
5. Rub this mixture all over the outside of the turkey, under the wings, and
inside the cavity. Be generous—this is your seasoning.
6. Place the turkey breast-side up on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan.
Pour broth into the bottom of the pan.
7. Roast uncovered for 3–4 hours (roughly 15 minutes per pound for a 10–12 lb
bird). The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F)
at the thickest part of the thigh (not touching bone).
8. Remove from oven and transfer to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and
rest for 15–20 minutes before carving.
9. While the turkey rests, skim fat from the pan drippings and use them to make gravy if desired.
