Roasted Turkey Rubbed with Olive Oil, Sage, Thyme, and Rosemary

My husband prepares the bird each year with the same whole foods: roughly-cut apples, celery, carrots, and onion inside, a quick rub of olive oil outside, and fresh herbs (sage, thyme, and rosemary) where ever they will fit.  The meat is always moist and fragrant!

Here are this year's birds going into the oven...

Next year, I think I'd like to try a local breed.  But this year we didn't get our act together in time...
