- In a deep baking pan or roasting pan, line the celery and carrots on the bottom of the pan after spraying with nonstick cooking spray.
- Slice the lemons you've used for the lemon zest and tuck them under the skin of the turkey along with 2 rosemary sprigs.

- Slice and enjoy with your favorite sides, salads, gravies or on a sandwich of your choice!
