Cooking Turkey for Beginners - An Easy Step-by-Step Turkey Recipe

Remove the bag that contains the neck, heart, gizzard, etc., and rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water. Dry with paper towels thoroughly.

Pull the wing tips forward and tuck them under the breasts so they don't burn. This also keeps the turkey sitting nice and straight.

Hold the turkey by the back legs, and season the entire cavity generously with the seasoned salt.

Add the rosemary, sage, and a large handful of the aromatic vegetables to the cavity.
