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.
