To make this dish, you will need a 12-14 pound turkey, 1 cup of butter, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of dried thyme, 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary, 1 tablespoon of dried sage, 1 onion, 1 carrot, 1 celery stalk, 4 cups of chicken broth, and 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour.
To start, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Rinse the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin.
Next, chop the onion, carrot, and celery and place them in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the turkey on top of the vegetables and melt the butter in a small saucepan. Pour the melted butter over the turkey.
Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with the pan juices.
