For a richer flavor, consider adding fresh herbs such as rosemary sprigs and thyme to the cavity of the turkey along with the vegetables. Ensure the turkey is fully thawed before cooking for even roasting. Baking times vary based on the weight of the turkey. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches a safe internal temperature. 8-12 pounds: 1.5 to 2 hours 12-16 pounds: 2 to 2.5 hours 16-20 pounds: 2.5 to 3 hours 20-24 pounds: 3 to 3.5 hours
