1/2 tsp of dried parsley flakes

1/2 tsp of dried thyme

1/2 tsp of dried basil

1/2 tsp of sage

1/2 tsp of paprika

1/2 tsp of onion powder

1/2 tsp of granulated garlic powder

1/2 tsp of salt

1/2 tsp of ground black pepper

First you want to remove giblets from both cavities at both ends and set aside.

Now rinse the bird all overand pat him down dry.

Next you shoud put a rack into a large roasting pan,and then place the turkey onto the rack with the breast and legs up.

Now put your palm full of butter in between the skin and flesh.

Now take a glob of butter into the palm of your hand and generously rub the turkey with the butter.

Next you should sprinkle the entire bird with salt, freshly ground black pepper, onion powder, granulated garlic powder, tarragon, parsley flakes, thyme, basil and paprika.

Then pour about 1/4" to 1/2" of water in the bottom of the roasting pan, DONT WASH OF SEASONINGS!!

Now make a tent over turkey with aluminum foil and place into a preheated 325 degree oven for approx.1 1/2 hours.

Then take off foil tent and wrap foil around the legs and wings.

Now make sure to baste the turkey and return it back to oven for the remainder of the cooking time.

Note: When the juices run clear and not red when you puncture the bird between the thigh and the breast.

Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the turkey.
