Ingredients

Instructions
Take the turkey out of the fridge 30 minutes before roasting. Heat the oven to 350°F.
Mash the butter with the garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Pat the turkey dry. Gently loosen the skin with your fingers and spread about two-thirds of the herb butter underneath. Rub the rest over the outside of the skin.
Arrange the onion rings in a roasting pan and set the turkey on top. Pour the broth into the pan.
Roast 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours, basting every 30 minutes, until a thermometer in the thickest part (not touching bone) reads 165°F. If the skin browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
Let the turkey rest 20 minutes before carving. Strain the pan juices to serve alongside or use for gravy.
