Turkey Marinade

Ingredients:
• 1 stick butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
• 1 can of Orange juice concentrate thawed
• 6 cloves of garlic chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons of Rosemary
• 8 lemons juiced (save de-juice lemon to stuff inside turkey!)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparation:
Chop Thyme, Rosemary, & Garlic. Cut Lemons in half and juice, making sure to remove the seeds. Stuff the Turkey with the Lemons after they’ve been squeezed. Combine everything except butter in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Rub turkey with butter, then place some of the butter cut into slices inside Turkey. Cut slices into Turkey with knife to allow marinade to get inside turkey. Pour marinade over turkey, placing pieces of the garlic inside the cut slices and marinade overnight.

Position oven rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 325°F.

Roast turkey until golden, basting occasionally with pan drippings, about 2 hours. Cover entire turkey loosely with heavy-duty foil and roast until meat thermometer inserted into innermost part of thigh registers 180°F or until juices run clear when thickest part of thigh is pierced with skewer, basting occasionally with pan juices, about 1 1/2 hours longer. Transfer turkey to platter. Tent turkey with foil and let stand to set.
