Authentic turkey recipe? How about a sumptuous Rosemary Roasted Turkey?

What you need!

1. 3 tablespoons minced garlic
2. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
3. 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4. 1 (12 pound) whole turkey
5. 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (such as marjoram, thyme, oregano, etc)
6. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
7. 3/4 cup olive oil
8. Salt to taste

What you need to do!

Pre heat that oven of yours to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and while it’s reaching that temperature, mix the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, basil, Italian seasoning, black pepper and salt in a small bowl. Now keep it aside. Bring out that clean dry turkey of yours, and (gets tricky, try to concentrate) slowly work your fingers between the breast and the skin. Work it loose to the end of the drumstick, being careful not to tear the skin. Now that you have loosened the breast skin you will have to spread the mixture that you just made in the bowl and kept aside, under the breast skin and down the thigh and leg. You can rub the left over mixture to the outside of the turkey and if there is some exposed breast meat, seal it with a toothpick. Take a out a pan (that’s big enough to hold the turkey), Add about 1/4 inch of water to the bottom of the pan, put it inside the pre heated oven, for 3 to 4 hours (depending on the type of weld you want). After its ready, serve it to your family with some white vine (optional). And you are all set to have the perfect thanksgiving because you have the yummiest turkey this time.
