- As the oven preheats, mix all the parsley, sage, thyme leaves, lemon pepper, rosemary, and salt in a bowl and stir thoroughly, until they are mixed well. Rub the mixture into the cavity of the turkey, and then stuff the celery, oranges, onion, and carrot in it.
- Place the turkey on the roasting pan and pour the chicken broth and champagne over it. Ensure some champagne goes into the cavity as well. Cover the turkey with an aluminum cover and secure it well. Ensure the foil does not touch the skin, breast or legs of the turkey.
- Bake the turkey in the oven for 3 hours, until it is no longer pink on the bone. Remove the foil and bake for 30 more minutes. Let the skin turn golden brown. The turkey’s cooked temperature should be 180 degrees F, at the thickest part of the turkey.
Once you are satisfied it is done. Remove it from the oven, and cover it well with an aluminum foil. Allow it to simmer for 15 minutes before you slice it. The turkey continues cooking even after you have removed it from the oven, allow it to finish cooking and cool down a little bit.
