Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 180°C.
Step 2
• In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, all the dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture into the turkey and arrange the meat in an even layer in a baking dish.
Step 3
• Put turkey in the oven and bake for about 1.5 hours, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 160-175°F (70-75°C). Then remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4
• Prepare the side dish: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet, add the onion, apples, and celery, cover, and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to another baking dish, add the parsley, sage, thyme, diced bread, pour in the chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes.
Step 5
• Divide the turkey into portions and serve with a side dish.
