Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the oven
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Pat turkey dry with paper towels; This helps the skin brown better.
Make the flavor mixture
Mix the garlic, lemon juice and zest, dried rosemary and sage in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Rub the turkey
Apply the mixture thoroughly to every part of the turkey, especially the breast and leg parts. If you have time, let it rest for 20–30 minutes.
Add lemon
Slice remaining lemon and place inside turkey or around pan; It gives a light citrus aroma while cooking.
Cook
Place the turkey on the baking tray. Bake for about 3-3.5 hours, until the top is golden brown and the inside is cooked. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
Let rest and serve
After taking it out of the oven, let it rest for 15-20 minutes. Then slice and serve; resting helps the broth stay in.
