Garlic Rosemary Turkey

1 whole turkey (10 to 12 pounds)
6 to 8 garlic cloves
2 large lemons, halved
2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon rubbed sage

Cut six to eight small slits in turkey skin; insert garlic between the skin and
meat. Squeeze two lemon halves inside the turkey and stuff them in the turkey.
Squeeze remaining lemon over outside of turkey. Spray the turkey with cooking
spray; sprinkle with rosemary and sage. Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Tie
drumsticks together. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1 hour. Cover and bake
2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours longer or until a meat thermometer reads 180° basting
occasionally with pan drippings (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too
quickly.)

Yield: 8-10 servings.
