Sage-Rubbed Roasted Turkey
In charge of the bird this year? Don’t sweat it. With a little planning and lots of spices, you’re in for a juicy, savory treat.
Ingredients
- 1 whole turkey, (12-14 lb.), fresh or frozen, thawed
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp. McCormick® Rubbed Sage
- 1 Tbsp. Lawry's® Seasoned Salt
- 2 tsp. McCormick® Paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp. McCormick® Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp. McCormick® Ground Pepper Black
Directions
- Place oven rack in lowest position. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place roasting rack in shallow roasting pan. Mix seasonings in small bowl.
- Place turkey, breast-side up, in prepared pan. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mixture inside turkey. Brush turkey breast with oil. Spread remaining seasoning mixture over entire surface and under skin of turkey. Add 1/2 cup water to pan. Cover turkey loosely with heavy duty foil.
- Roast 1 hour. Remove foil. Roast 2-2 1/2 hours longer or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (175°F in thigh), basting occasionally with pan juices. Remove turkey from oven. Let stand 20 minutes.
- Transfer to platter or carving board and slice. Reserve pan juices to make gravy or to serve with turkey.
