3/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups water
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Clean turkey (discard
giblets and organs), and place in a roasting pan with a lid.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried basil, ground
sage, salt, and black pepper. Using a basting brush, apply the mixture
to the outside of the uncooked turkey. Pour water into the bottom of the
roasting pan, and cover.
Bake for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the
thickest part of the thigh measures 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove
bird from oven, and allow to stand for about 30 minutes before carving.
