A classic and straightforward recipe for a ‘Simple Roasted Turkey,’ a perfect centerpiece for a holiday meal like Thanksgiving. The turkey is simply prepared by patting it dry, seasoning generously with salt and pepper, and stuffing the cavity with aromatics like onion, garlic, and bay leaves. It’s roasted using a two-temperature method—starting at high heat to brown the skin, then finishing at a lower temperature until perfectly cooked through. The pan drippings are reserved for making a delicious gravy.
