Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Slice your cold butter to have ready.

Unpackage your thawed turkey and remove neck and giblets from the cavity. Pat dry on sheet pan or cutting board.

Save the turkey back, carcass, neck and other scraps for making a turkey broth, if desired. You will need to roast these pieces on a sheet pan for 45 minutes. Then boil them in water and your desired seasonings to make broth.

Arrange your turkey pieces on a baking sheet pan (no flat cookie sheet! rimmed pan where juices can be collected)

Season the underside of each turkey piece liberally.

Flip the pieces over, skin side up, and make a pocket between the skin and meat. Liberally season inside the pocket.

Put 3-4 slices of butter in the pocket between skin and meat.

Inject the meat at this time with additional melted butter and seasoning, if desired.

Season the top of the turkey pieces (skin side).

Put 3 or so slices of butter on top of the chicken (on top over the skin).

Bake for 30-40 minutes in oven. Check at 30 minutes. Remove breast pieces to check internal temperature. Bake the breast to 165 degrees.

Remove the wings and breast from the oven and move to the microwave, or cover with foil to rest and keep warm.

Continue to bake your leg quarters until they are 185 degrees internal temperature or more.

Remove from oven and let rest.

Reserve the drippings from your pan to make gravy, if desired from the drippings, flour, and turkey broth.

Remove leg meat from the bone to serve.

Slice your turkey breast to serve.
