Ingredients:  
One 12-pound turkey
1 orange
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried sage
1⁄2 tsp black pepper
Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Remove the giblets
and neck if they are encased within the turkey,
then rinse out the cavity and pat the turkey
dry. Slice the orange in half and stuff it inside
the bird.
2. In a small bowl, combine the oil with the
rosemary, thyme, sage, and pepper. Rub the
seasoning mixture under the skin and on top
of the breast of the turkey. Rub any remaining
seasonings over the entire turkey. If the legs
are not secured with a wire, tie them together
with kitchen string. Place the turkey on a Vrack
in a roasting pan, tucking the wings under
the bird.
3. Roast the turkey at 400° F for 30 minutes;
reduce the oven temperature to 325° F and continue
cooking the turkey until an internal temperature
of 165° F is reached for the breast or 180°
F for the leg. Also look for other indications of
doneness: loose joints and juices running clear.
If turkey begins to turn dark brown before the internal
temperature is met, cover the breast with
foil and continue to roast until done.
