Prepare lemons, onions, and herbs

Wash and quarter the lemon. Peel and quarter the onion. Wash the parsley, thyme, rosemary, and sage, and shake gently to dry.

Season and stuff the turkey

Rub the turkey inside and out with 1 tsp sea salt and 1 tsp pepper. Then stuff the turkey with three onion quarters, the lemon quarters, and the herbs.

Close and prepare the turkey

Close the opening of the turkey with toothpicks and tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Close the front opening (neck) with the remaining onion quarter. Tuck the wings under the turkey.
