Herb Butter Turkey Rub

 

• 3/4 Cup of Butter Softened (1.5 Sticks)
• 2 Tablespoons of Chopped Fresh Thyme
• 1 Tablespoon of Chopped Fresh Sage
• 1 Tablespoon of Chopped Fresh Rosemary
• Salt and Pepper

1. Thaw the turkey according to the instructions on the package. Remove neck and giblets.
2. Combine softened butter, herbs and salt and pepper.
3. Carefully and gently loosen the skin away from the turkey breast and legs using your hand. Make sure not to rip the skin this is important for keeping the moisture in. You are creating pockets so you can spread the butter all over your turkey. I use just about one stick for under the turkey skin and the remainder on the outside of the turkey. I also add salt and pepper to the outside of the turkey. 
4. Cook turkey according to your cooking method. Check out how to air fry a turkey here.
5. When the turkeys internal temperature is at 165 degrees the turkey is done.
6. Let turkey rest for at least 15 minutes.
7. Carve and Enjoy!
