Family Recipe: Simple Rub

Apply a mixture of your preferred herbs and spices or a paste consisting of the following ingredients to the outside of the turkey:

4 Tbsp oil, (melted butter, margarine, olive oil, etc.) 4 tsp. salt, or to taste 2 tsp. paprika

Place the turkey in an open roasting pan, breast side up. Cover the bottom of the pan with approximately 2 cups water or broth. Place your beautiful turkey in the oven.

Use a 325º F oven. To avoid over-roasting, we advise you to periodically check the internal temperature of the roast. The internal temperature typically increases more rapidly during the last half of roasting.

The bird will brown to a rich, golden color while roasting, so there’s no need to turn it. To avoid overbrowning during the final hour of roasting, cover the turkey loosely with a foil tent. For truly marvelous gravy, heat (do not boil) 1 cup white wine. Pour this over your turkey halfway through the roasting time. When the turkey reaches the desired internal temperature, remove from the oven. Cover and let stand for at least 15 minute before carving.
