Ingredients
UnitsScale
1 whole turkey (12–14 pounds), thawed
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 lemon, halved
1 onion, quartered
4 cloves garlic, peeled
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/2cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2cup chopped mushrooms
1/2cup riced cauliflower
1/4cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 egg, beaten (for stuffing binder)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
Pat turkey dry with paper towels and place it on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil or melted butter with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and sage.
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin if possible.
Stuff the cavity of the turkey with lemon halves, onion quarters, and garlic cloves.
To prepare the stuffing, combine chopped celery, mushrooms, riced cauliflower, walnuts (if using), parsley, and beaten egg in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon stuffing into the neck cavity and secure skin with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
Roast turkey in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
Baste turkey occasionally with pan juices to keep it moist.
Remove from oven, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 20-30 minutes before carving.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is cooked properly.
Leftover turkey can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
The stuffing can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to use.
