Préparation
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure your turkey is thawed if frozen.
  2. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  3. Rub the softened butter all over the turkey, ensuring it’s well coated. Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder generously on the outside and inside.
  4. Take your prepared stuffing and carefully fill the cavity of the turkey.
Cooking
  1. Transfer the stuffed turkey to a large roasting pan. Cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
  2. Roast for approximately 3 to 4 hours, basting occasionally with its juices.
  3. While the turkey roasts, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the green beans for 5-7 minutes until tender.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat the cranberry sauce over low heat for about 5 minutes.
  5. Once the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
Serving
  1. Slice the turkey and serve it with green beans, a scoop of cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream.
