Rosemary-Herb Roasted Turkey The Pampered Chef

1 thawed, frozen or fresh turkey, 12-18 pounds
1 large lemon, sliced
1 large onion, cut into wedges
2-3 fresh thyme sprigs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Rosemary Herb Seasoning Mix

Preheat oven to 325 F. Remove neck and giblets from body and neck
cavities; cook and reserve for use in stuffing or gravy, if desired. Rinse
turkey inside and out; pat dry with paper towels. Lift wing tips up toward
neck, then tuck under back of turkey. Place lemon, onion and thyme inside
body cavity. Tie ends of legs together with cotton string. Place turkey,
breast side up, on rack in Roasting Pan.

Brush skin with oil using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush. Sprinkle with
seasoning mix. Roast turkey 3-4 hours or until Pocket Thermometer
registers
180 F in thickest part of thigh and juices run clear. (To prevent
overcooking, loosely cover breast with aluminum foil when turkey is about
two-thirds done. Check for doneness about 30 minutes before turkey is
expected to be done.)

Remove turkey from oven; let stand 20 minutes. Using Meat Lifters,
carefully remove turkey from Roasting Pan to Reversible Bamboo Carving
Board. Cut string from legs and discard. Carve turkey using Carving Set.
