How to Cook a Turkey

Ingredients:
-Whole turkey
-10 tablespoons unsalted butter
-¼ cup salt
-2 tablespoons dried oregano
-2 tablespoons garlic powder
-½ tablespoon onion powder
-1 tablespoon dried thyme
-1 tablespoon paprika
-1 tablespoon dried parsley
-2 tablespoons black pepper


Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the neck and giblet packet from your turkey and pat the skin dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, combine the seasonings with softened butter.
Spread butter all over the turkey and under the skin.
Roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to continue cooking. The general rule of thumb is to cook your unstuffed turkey for 13 minutes per pound, so multiply 13 minutes by the weight of your turkey to get your total cook time. This is an estimate, but generally works out to be very close to actual cook time.

Example:
My turkey was 13.65 pounds. 13 minutes per pound for 13.65 pounds is 177.45 minutes, or 2.95 hours. My turkey took just over 3 hours to come to 165 degrees Fahrenheit internal temperature.

Let rest for 15 minutes before carving to serve!
