Directions
1 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2 Take out and throw away neck and giblets from turkey. Wash and dry turkey and cut off any extra fat. Beginning at the neck cavity, release skin from breast and drumsticks by inserting fingers and gently separating skin and against the meat. Mix mustard, sage, black pepper, and garlic and massage between skin and meat. Tuck wings under turkey.
3 Lay turkey, breast side up in a roasting pan. Drizzle broth overtop of turkey. Move turkey to the 450 degree F oven and instantly lower temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake turkey 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads at least 180 degrees F. Brush turkey often with pan drippings. Let turkey rest 25 minutes and take off skin before serving.
Additional Information
There are two ways to thaw a frozen bird. The easiest: Place it on a tray in the refrigerator for three days. The quickest: Submerge the wrapped turkey, breast side down, in cold water for 5 to 6 hours; change the water every half hour to keep it cold.
