Lean and Trim Oven Roasted Turkey

Remove giblets and neck. Pat dry. Place onion and lemon quarters in the neck and body cavities.

In a small bowl, mix oil with seasonings. With your finger tips, gently loosen skin from the breast without pulling it off. Place 1 tablespoon herb mixture under skin, replace skin. Rub the cavities and the outside of turkey with remaining herb mixture.

Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a large shallow roasting pan. Insert an oven-safe thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh.

Cover loosely with foil. Roast in a preheated 325 degrees F oven for 2-1/2 hours. Remove the foil. Baste with pan juices. Continue cooking, uncovered, for about another hour or until the meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F in the thigh.

Allow to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.

Garnish platter with lemons and fresh herbs.
