Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and prepare a roasting pan.

Clean the turkey under cold water, pat dry, and remove giblets.

In a bowl, mix softened butter with garlic, herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Loosen the skin over the breast; rub half of the herb butter underneath and spread the remaining on top.

Optionally, stuff the cavity with lemon halves and extra herbs.

Roast turkey breast-side up for 13-15 minutes per pound until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting occasionally.

Let rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
