INGREDIENT FOR DRY RUB
3 Tbsp fine salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp lemon pepper
*This works for a 12 to 14 pound whole turkey*
COMPOUND BUTTER
8 Tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter (softened)
2 tsp salt , garlic & pepper blend
1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
*I roasted the turkey in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 to 8 minutes per pound. Once the internal temperature of the turkey breast reached 155 degrees Fahrenheit and the thigh internal temperature reached 165 to 170 degrees Fahrenheit, I removed it from the oven. Be sure to rest minimum 30 minutes to 45 minutes before carving*
SAUSAGE BREAD DRESSING
1 lb sage breakfast sausage
1 lb white mushrooms
12 oz bag of toasted garlic baguette slices
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 celery sticks
1 small onion
(you can add chopped fresh parsley if you got it)
4 cups low sodium chicken or turkey broth
8x12-inch baking dish
*Frequently Asked Questions*
*Why should you spatchcock a turkey?*
Spatchcocking, or butterflying, lays the turkey flat. This exposes the leg meat to higher heat while keeping the breast lower, allowing the entire bird to cook evenly in about half the traditional roasting time.
*How do you get turkey skin deep golden brown and crispy?*
Drying the skin thoroughly before seasoning, using the right balance of fat, and roasting at a consistent temperature ensures the skin turns crispy and deep golden brown instead of rubbery.
