Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup paprika, salt, garlic powder, dried onion, and pepper.
  2. Gradually add water, stirring constantly, until a thick, spreadable paste forms.
  3. Adjust consistency if needed; it should be thick like finger paint, not runny.
  4. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels inside and out.
  5. Generously rub the spice paste all over the turkey skin.
  6. Lift the skin gently and rub some paste directly onto the meat for extra flavor.
  7. Spoon the remaining paste into the cavity of the turkey.
  8. Let the turkey sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before roasting.
  9. Roast according to your preferred method, basting occasionally with pan juices.
