Instructions

1
|
1-3 days prior to cooking, remove the giblet pouch from the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle it evenly with the kosher salt on the outside, inside the cavity, and under the skin over the breast meat. Refrigerate uncovered for up to 3 days.
2
|
When you're ready to cook the turkey, remove it from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
3
|
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the olive oil, chopped rosemary, smoked paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl and whisk until combined. Coat the outside of the turkey evenly with the olive oil mixture.
4
|
Place the orange, garlic cloves, and remaining 2 sprigs of rosemary inside the cavity of the turkey. Truss the turkey legs using the kitchen twine, and tuck the wing tips underneath the turkey.
5
|
Place the turkey in the oven and cook for 2 1/2 – 3 hours, depending on the size, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 160 degrees.
6
|
Let the turkey stand for a minimum of 20 minutes covered loosely with foil, then place on a cutting board. Carve and enjoy!
