Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe
I know I'm a little late to the game but I wanted to share our Thanksgiving Turkey recipe because I thought it was delicious. We used part of the recipe from Giada De Laurentiis HERE. We added our own twist. This was only the second time I have made a turkey (this time with most of Kevin's help) and I was pretty impressed. Our turkey was about 15 pounds I think so we kept it in the fridge three days before Thanksgiving and started the process the day before. Below is step-by-step of what we did. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
15 pound turkey
8 bay leaves
2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp paprika
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp cajun seasoning
2 tbsp butter, melted
Directions:
The day before Thanksgiving, remove the gizzards from inside the turkey. Dry the turkey very well using a paper towel. Create pockets around and inside the turkey and place the bay leaves inside the pockets.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, paprika and pepper. Season the turkey inside and out rubbing the spices into the bird. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and cover loosely inside the refrigerator overnight.
