Double up oven bags & place in roasting pan; place turkey in bags. Add dressing mixture; tie bag openings together to seal. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight, turning turkey halfway through.

Step 3

IF USING BUTTERBALL TURKEY SEASONING KIT...Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Loosen skin without making any holes, rub savory seasoning all over meat. Rub butter all over outside of skin & season with Savory Seasoning & chopped rosemary, sage, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Inject all marinade into various parts of turkey. If desired, truss. Coat clean roasting pan with cooking spray. Place turkey in pan with halved garlic head. Rub over turkey. Place remaining herb sprigs in cavity. If desired, truss.

Roast turkey until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh away from bone registers 180 degrees F, about 3 hours, basting occasionally & tenting with foil if browning too quickly. Transfer turkey to platter. Remove garlic halves from pan, cool. Let turkey stand 20 minutes before carving.
