How to Make Butter & Herb Roast Turkey | Food52 + Yummly

The key to this mouth-watering turkey is the temperature. By slow-baking it covered at a low temp, steam builds up in the pan and cooks the turkey gently, resulting in a juicier,. more tender meat. It's then basted and finished on high heat to crisp and brown the skin and flavored delicately with an herbaceous compound butter. This recipe is shared in partnership with Yummly.
