If your bird is frozen, place it in the refrigerator overnight to defrost.
Pat the bird dry with paper towels.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Rub both sides of the turkey with olive oil.
Combine all spices to make a rub. Sprinkle generously onto both sides of the bird.
Slice your onions roughly into 1-inch rounds. Peel and wash the carrots.
Pour wine and chicken broth into your roasting pan. Line the bottom with onions, whole carrots, unpeeled garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs. Place the bird on top of all the vegetables, cut side down.
Cook the turkey for 1 ½ - 2 hours until cooked through. Test for doneness with a meat thermometer. Turkey should reach an internal temperature of 170°F (77°C) in the breast and 180°F (82°C) in the thigh.
Remove turkey from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Enjoy!
Notes
Make quick and easy homemade gravy to serve with your bird: Take your pan drippings and skim all but a few tablespoons of the fat away. Pour into a saucepan. Unpeel the garlic. Add the garlic and half the cooked onion to the saucepan. Blend with a hand blender. Combine 1 tbsp cornstarch with ½ glass of milk until dissolved. Add to the saucepan. Stir over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat until mixture thickens and serve in a gravy boat.
