Wash the turkey inside and out; pat it dry. Remove any large fat deposits. Loosen the skin from the breast by gently working your fingers between the breast and the skin, taking care not to tear it, and continue loosening it to the end of the drumstick.

With your hand, spread a generous amount of the rosemary mixture under the breast skin and down over the thigh and leg. Rub the remaining rosemary mixture over the outside of the breast. Use toothpicks to secure the skin over any exposed breast meat.
