It is almost Turkey Day and I wanted to share this heathy recipe with you. When purchasing a turkey the best turkey would be organic and hormone free.
Herb Roasted Turkey
Recipe ingredient
1 11 lbs. whole pastured free range turkey
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 large onion – quartered
1 head garlic – cut into 2 pieces
1 medium size lemon- quartered
Coconut oil, melted (as needed)
Preheat oven to 325 F degrees.
In a small bowl mix the oregano, rosemary, thyme, black pepper and salt.
Remove the gizzards and neck from the completely thawed turkey. Place the cut garlic, onion, and lemon inside the turkey.
Using your finger gently loosen the skin of the turkey and rub the spice mixture underneath the skin of the turkey breast and thigh. Do it very gently to avoid breaking the skin.
Put the turkey on the middle oven rack. Place a pan underneath turkey on the rack below to catch the drippings.
Roast for 3 hours. The turkey is done when an instant read thermometer reads registers 165 degree when it is inserted to the thickest part of the thigh.
Melt coconut oil and brush all over the turkey and let rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. Enjoy.
Happy Turkey Day!!!
