Juicy Thanksgiving Turkey
  1. 1

    Season the turkey: In a small bowl, mix together parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, lemon-pepper, and salt. Rub the herb mixture inside the turkey cavity, then stuff the cavity with celery, orange, onion, and carrot.

  2. 2

    Prepare the turkey: Set the turkey in a roasting pan lined with foil long enough to wrap around the bird, then pour Champagne and broth over the turkey, making sure some of the liquid goes into the cavity.

  3. 3

    Roast the turkey: Pull the foil over the turkey and seal it. Roast in a preheated oven until the juices run clear. Uncover the turkey and keep roasting until the skin is golden brown.
