ROAST TURKEY

1. Preheat BBQ to 260°C. Pat the Turkey

dry with paper towels. Season the cavity

with salt and pepper. Stuff it with the

onion quarters and sprigs of herbs.

2. Season the turkey with garlic powder, oninion

powder and smoked paprika. Loosen the skin of the

turkey. Then rub some of the herb butter between

the skin and turkey breasts. Rub the outside of the

turkey with the remaining herb butter.

3. Place the turkey breast-side

up in a roasting rack with a pan.

4. Roast the turkey for about 120 minutes

(4.5-5.5kg turkey) or until the internal temperature

reaches 74°C in the thickest part of the thigh.

5. Once done, remove the turkey and

let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

This allows the juices to redistribute.

6. Carve the turkey and serve.
