The Perfect Roast Turkey by Ina Garten

http://www.barefootcontessa.com/recipes/3.html

 

1 fresh turkey (12 pounds)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch of fresh thyme
1 lemon, halved
3 Spanish onions
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick), melted
1/2 cup good olive oil
8 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
10 red new potatoes, halved
3 heads fennel, fronds removed, cut into wedges through the core

This turkey recipe has never failed me.  I used it on the first Thanksgiving I ever hosted and everything went quite well.  Give it a try.
