Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 turkey (approximately 23 pounds)
2 tablespoons rosemary
2 tablespoons parsley
2 tablespoons sage
2 tablespoons thyme
1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon salt
1 medium orange, cut into 8 wedges
1 medium onion, cut into large pieces
1 medium carrot, cut into ½ inch slices
2 stalks celery, cut into ½ inch slices
1 bottle white wine
1 can (14½ ounces) broth
Directions:
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350º. Line a roaster pan with sheets of HEAVY DUTY aluminum foil long enough to wrap around turkey.

2. Stir together all seasonings and set aside in small bowl.

3. Place turkey (with legs tied together and wings under the body) into pan on top of the foil. Rub seasonings into the turkey cavity; then stuff with orange wedges, onion, carrots, and celery.

4. Pour wine and broth over the turkey, making sure to get some liquid in the cavity. Bring aluminum foil up and over the top of turkey and seal--keep foil from touching the turkey.

5. Roast turkey in oven until juices are clear, approximately 3 hours. Uncover turkey and continue roasting until the skin turns golden brown, approximately 1 more hour. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 180º.

6. Remove turkey from oven, cover with 2 sheets of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area before slicing, for 10-15 minutes.
