This is an irresistable Roast Turkey recipe! The turkey tastes wonderful, and is incredibly moist.
Directions:
1. Remove giblets from both cavities at both ends and set aside. Rinse the bird inside and out and pat dry with paper towel.
2. Soak clay cooker in water for 10-15 minutes, then place the turkey on in the cooker with the breast and legs up.
3. Mix all of the seasonings, except the paprika, together with the butter.
4.Place your hand between the skin and the flesh from the rear of the turkey.
5. With the palm of your hand, generously rub the entire turkey with the butter and seasoning mixture. Generously sprinkle the entire bird with salt, freshly ground black pepper, onion powder, granulated garlic powder, tarragon, parsley flakes, thyme, basil and paprika. If desired, pour about 1/4" to 1/2" of chicken broth in the bottom of the roasting pan, being careful not to wash any of the seasonings off the turkey. NOTE: If cooking in a clay cooker, this is not necessary.
6.Cover the turkey with clay cooker lid, and place in a cold oven, cook at 350 degrees F for about 4 hours.
7.Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the turkey.
8. NOTE: I always cook my turkey unstuffed.
