Ingredients:
1 whole turkey (10 to 12 pounds)
6 to 8 cloves garlic
2 large lemons, halved
2 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
1 tsp. rubbed sage
1/2 stick butter, melted
Directions:
Cut six to eight small slits in turkey skin. Insert garlic between the skin and meat. Squeeze two lemon halves inside the turkey and leave them inside. Brush melted butter over outside turkey and inside slits. Squeeze remaining lemon over outside of turkey. Sprinkle with rosemary and sage.
Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
Baste with pan juices. Cover and bake for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours longer until a meat thermometer reads 185 degrees - basting every half-hour with pan juices.
