Instructions

Thaw the frozen turkey completely in the refrigerator for at least 3 days, preferably 5 days.

Clean the thawed turkey thoroughly in cold water and pat dry.

Prepare the special butter by mixing unsalted butter and olive oil in a bowl.

Add lemon zest and lemon juice to the butter and mix.

Add Italian parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the butter mixture and mix well to complete the herb butter.

Prepare salt, pepper, onion, lemon, button mushrooms, bay leaves, etc., to stuff the turkey.

Insert your hand between the turkey skin and meat to create space, then stuff the special butter deep inside to flavor the breast meat.

Use kitchen twine to truss the turkey so it is firm and shaped nicely.

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees, place the turkey in, and roast for 10 minutes.
