1 (12-14 lb) turkey
3 tbsp snipped fresh sage, rosemary, and/or thyme
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 small onions, quartered
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 stalks of celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Remove neck and giblets from turkey, reserving neck. Rinse inside of turkey; pat dry. Combine the herbs, salt, and pepper; season cavity with half the mixture. Pull neck skin back and skewer. Tie drumsticks to tail with kitchen string. Twist wing tips under the back.
Place turkey, breast side up, in a roasting pan with the onions, carrots, celery, and neck. Pour in 1 cup water. Brush turkey with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining herb mixture. Place a meat thermometer in thigh but don't touch the bone. Cover loosely with foil.
Roast 30 minutes then reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Roast another 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until thermometer reads 180 degrees. With 45 minutes left on roasting time, remove the foil and string.
Remove from oven and transfer to a platter, reserving pan mixture for gravy. Cover turkey for 15 minutes.
Remove skin before eating.
