How To Make doug's terrific turkey seasoning
-
Step 1Combine the salt, black pepper and garlic powder in a bowl.
-
Step 2About 1-2 hours before time to cook turkey, rub the inside and outside of the turkey with all of the spices. Yes, use it all! Let the turkey rest for 1-2 hours.
-
Step 3Place the turkey upside down in a roasting pan. Bake at 400 degrees until the skin begins to crisp.
-
Step 4Turn the turkey over and lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees. When the skin begins to brown, add 4-6 cups water into the roaster, and cover the turkey with foil to prevent burning.
-
Step 5Complete baking the turkey until its internal temperature registers 165 degrees.
-
Step 6Remove the turkey from the oven when done, and allow it to rest 20-30 minutes before carving. Use the drippings in the roaster to make gravy!!
