  2. Make the compound butter

    • Take the turkey out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.

  4. Stuff and truss the turkey

    • Stuff the cavity with fresh herbs, garlic, celery, carrots, onion, lemon and bay leaves.
    • Tuck the wings and tie the legs with twine so the turkey is nice and tight.
