Turkey
  1. Preheat the oven to 275°

  4. Tie the legs together, tent the turkey and place the turkey in the oven for 3.5 hours.
  5. While the turkey is cooking, prepare the herbed butter. Simply chop the herbs and use an electric mixer to whisk the ghee and herbs together. Add in the spices and whisk again.

  7. Liberally smear the herbed butter all over the turkey. Return to a 350° oven.
  8. Continue to cook the turkey until it reaches 165° basting every 30 minuets. Be sure to allow the turkey to rest for 30-60 minuets then carve.
Gravy
  1. Dump the juice of the turkey from the bottom if the roasting pan to a large pot. On medium heat add in the milk. Once the liquid begins to simmer turn to low and add in the arrowroot powder. Whisk constantly until the gravy thickens. Pour the gravy through a fine-mesh strainer and into a bowl. Serve warm.
