1 (14 1/2-ounce) can chicken broth
1 cup butter, sliced
1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 lemon, zest removed and fruit sliced
2 tablespoons honey
12 pounds turkeys, thawed if frozen
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
10 cloves garlic, peeled

Combine broth, butter and wine or broth in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add rosemary and zest; simmer over low for 20 minutes. Stir in honey. Remove from heat; set aside, keeping warm. Pat turkey dry and remove giblets. Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper. Place turkey breast-side up on a wire rack in a roasting pan. Add lemon slices and garlic to roasting pan. Roast turkey at 350 degrees for about 3 hours, basting with broth mixture every 30 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted into thigh reads 165 degrees. Transfer to a serving platter; let stand 20 to 30 minutes before carving.


Parsley-buttered potatoes are a delicious side that’s ready in no time. Peel, cut and boil potatoes just until tender... toss with butter, salt, pepper and fresh parsley. Yum!
