Stuffed Roasted Turkey Recipe

Stuffed Roasted Turkey Directions

Open turkey and remove the giblets from both cavities.
Rinse the cavities and pat dry.
Place bird breast side up on a rack in roasting pan.
Loosely pack the body cavity and neck cavity with stuffing. Skewer the neck cavity to hold the stuffing in if necessary.
Tie the legs together.
In a small saucepan combine the butter, sage, thyme, marjoram, celery salt, onion powder and garlic powder.
Cook over medium heat stirring occasionally until butter is melted.
Generously brush all over the turkey.
Insert a meat thermometer into thickest part of the turkey breast during the last 30 minutes of baking time.
Cook until thermometer registers 165°.
Baste with butter mixture again if desired.
Remove roasted turkey from oven and cover with foil and let set 15 minutes before carving.

Note: Unstuffed turkeys cook faster than stuffed ones. Cook your turkey on a roasting rack for best results. If turkey starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
