For the turkey
 1 Free-range turkey from Auvergne
 3 Yellow onion
 500 Chicken broth
For the garlic butter
 200 Butter
 4 cloves Garlic
 3 Sage
 3 Thyme
 1 Paprika
 Salt
 Pepper
For the roasted mushrooms

 1 Olive oil
 20 Butter
 2 cloves Garlic
 1 Thyme
 1 Lemon

Directions
1

Prepare the garlic butter: mix together the butter, garlic, sage, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Using a spoon, coat the turkey entirely with the garlic butter (outside and cavity).

2

Place the slices of smoked bacon around the turkey (including thighs and wings). In a baking dish, place the onion slices at the bottom of the dish.

3

Place the turkey in the dish and add the chicken broth. Roast in the oven at 180°C for 2 hours and 30 minutes, depending on the size of the bird.

4

Baste the turkey with its cooking juices every 20 minutes. Once cooked, let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes in the oven.

5

Meanwhile, mix the mushrooms with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and lemon juice.

6

Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 200°C until they start to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through.

7

To finish, cook the butter over medium heat until it starts to develop a nice brown color, remove from heat, and incorporate it with the roasted mushrooms.
