So here’s your cheat sheet: Quartered lemon, halved garlic head, rough-cut onion, celery, carrot, a forest of fresh herbs, and maybe one dried chile. That’s it. That’s the whole party.
Don’t overthink it. Don’t use Pinterest hacks that involve soda cans or beer bottles. Your oven is not a frat house. Keep it simple, keep it aromatic, and let the bird do the singing. Now go make a turkey that doesn’t taste like a candle.
