It is almost Thanksgiving and we have to roast turkey! It is tradition. This one is a super simple yet quick recipe that will make your Thanksgiving dinner yummier and stress free.

Currently, I live in Milton, GA with a husband, two kids, a dog, and a cat.
1. If you purchased a frozen turkey, thaw in the fridge for 36-48 hours.
2. Remove the thawed turkey from the fridge 2 hours before roasting, so that it can come to room temperature.
3. Combine butter, olive oil, and A. Vogel Herbed Sea Salt in a medium bowl.
4. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
