Rubbing the skin with melted butter keeps this simply seasoned turkey moist and tender. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons salt |
2 teaspoons garlic powder |
2 teaspoons seasoned salt |
1-1/2 teaspoons paprika |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
3/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 turkey (13 to 15 pounds) |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan; pat dry. Brush with butter. Sprinkle with herb mixture.
2. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.) Cover and let stand for 20 minutes before carving. Yield: 13-15 servings.
