For an even deeper flavor, consider rubbing the turkey with the herb mixture under the skin of the breast. Be gentle to avoid tearing the skin. If the turkey skin begins to brown too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil during the last hour of roasting to prevent burning. Make sure your oven is properly calibrated to ensure accurate cooking times. Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and stuffing.
