Prep Time15 mins

Cook Time3 hrs

Total Time3 hrs 15 mins

Course: Main Dish

Cuisine: Americana

Keyword: Roast Turkey, Turkey

Servings: 16 servings

Ingredients

• 2 Turkeys, approx. 12 pounds each
• 1 Onion, quartered
• 2 stalks Celery, cut into thirds
• 2 Carrots, cut into thirds
• 1/2 cup Herbs de Provence
• 1/2 cup Coarse ground Celtic sea salt
• 1/2 cup Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 stick Butter, melted

Instructions

• Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place onion, celery, and carrots into baking pan or baking sheet.
• Unwrap turkeys and remove neck and giblets to save for making stock. Place turkeys on top of vegetables.
• Mix the herbs, salt, and peppers together and add a small handful to the cavity of each turkey.
• Baste each turkey with butter using a pastry brush and sprinkle the remaining herb, salt pepper mixture over each turkey.
• Place turkeys on lowest rack in the oven and roast for approximately 3 hours until a thermometer inserted into the thigh reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• When the turkeys are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to rest, covered for 20-30 minutes. Then transfer them to a serving plater or cutting board and carve.

Notes

During the 3 hour cooking time, periodically check the turkeys to make sure that they are not browning too quickly. If they are, place a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the turkeys and allow them to continue to roast until done.
