While recovering from hip surgery, I wrote my family for some of their favorite recipes to compile into a cookbook. This seasoned turkey is timeless. —Della Stamp, Long Beach, California

Citrus-Rosemary Rubbed Turkey Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 2-3/4 hours + standing

Yield: 13-15 Servings

15 165 180

Ingredients

2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
1-1/2 teaspoons grated fresh or dried orange peel
1-1/2 teaspoons grated fresh or dried lemon peel
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 turkey (13 to 15 pounds)

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan; pat dry. Brush with oil; rub rosemary mixture over turkey.
Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.) Cover and let stand for 20 minutes before carving. Yield: 13-15 servings.

Have made this recipe before, but didn't write it down and save it, just looked it up and i'm doing it for this Thanksgiving.

Plus i'm saving it in my recipe box for future use!

Used this recipe last Thanksgiving & my family ABSOLUTELY LOVED it. My hubby had me make it again during the summer! I was going to try another recipe this year, but my family voted that I re-do this one. Fantastic! Strongly recommend!
