Holiday Roasted Turkey
Serves: 8 • Prep time: 15 min • Cook time: 2 hours 15 min • Stand time: 20 minutes
- 10- to 12- lb. fresh or frozen thawed whole turkey
- 1/2 cup Shedd's Spread Country Crock® Omega Plus
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 tsp. dried rosemary leaves
- 1-1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. grated lemon peel
- 3/4 tsp. ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 425°. Remove giblets from turkey cavity and rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry with paper towels.
In small microwave-safe bowl, microwave remaining ingredients at HIGH 10 seconds or until Spread is melted; stir. Starting at cavity opening, gently loosen skin on turkey and evenly spread 1/2 of the mixture under skin, then spread remaining over outside of turkey.
In large roasting pan with rack, arrange turkey breast side up. Roast 15 minutes. Decrease oven to 350° and roast an additional 2 hours or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of the thigh reaches 180°. Let stand covered loosely with aluminum foil 20 minutes before carving.


Absolutely wonderful! So savoury as well!
the lemon and rosemary give the bird a great taste I really enjoyed the seasoning combo in this.
yes the seasoning is perfect! beautiful!
very delightfull meal
I had never made a turkey dinner before this recipe saved my life everyone seemed to like it.
putting the mixture under the skin keeps it moist I was really impressed if you just use butter on the outside normally your bird will dry out a bit.
I really enjoyed this recipe, it turned out great and was easy to follow
