Herb & Citrus Butter Roasted Turkey

A beautiful centerpiece for the fall table, this Herb & Citrus Butter Roasted Turkey is all about simple ingredients and big, seasonal flavor. A generous layer of garlic, lemon, rosemary, thyme, and sage butter is tucked beneath the skin and rubbed over the bird, creating deeply golden, flavorful skin and tender, juicy meat. Finished with fresh herbs, citrus, and onion in the cavity, this is the kind of roast that makes a gathering feel special.

We’re proud to share this recipe from one of our partners, Jessi the Farmer — @jessithefarmer — owner and farmer at @adamafarm in Marengo, Illinois.

Adama Farm is a first-generation, no-till regenerative farm growing a diverse mix of seasonal vegetables, herbs, fruit, and flowers. Founded by Jessica Davies, the farm is rooted in stewardship of the land, with a focus on building healthy soil, supporting biodiversity, and cultivating a meaningful connection between food, people, and place. Adama Farm practices no-till farming and does not use pesticides or chemical sprays on the food they grow.

We love that this recipe reflects that same appreciation for thoughtfully grown food and the people behind it. Pair the turkey with roasted seasonal vegetables or Adama Farm’s Roasted Acorn Squash & Tomato Soup for a cozy fall meal made to be shared.
