Instructions
- Gently separate the skin from the turkey breast by sliding your fingers under the skin. Rub rub half of the butter under the skin. Tie the legs together and tuck the wings underneath the turkey.
- Rub remaining butter all over outside of turkey. Season with salt and pepper. Place turkey in a large roasting pan, breast up. Place cut vegetables in the pan around the turkey. Add chicken broth.
