2. 2. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

3. 3. Carefully loosen the skin of the turkey and spread the garlic herb butter mixture evenly under the skin, as well as over the top of the turkey.

4. 4. Place the turkey in a large roasting pan and roast for 2.5-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the breast.

For an extra crispy skin, you can baste the turkey with the pan juices every 30 minutes during roasting. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for later use.
