Preparation

Step 1

Pull turkey out of salt water rinse and dry. Rub the paste all over the bird. Make sure you get under the skin on the breast meat.

Place in roasting pan. Pour remaining paste over the top of bird. Place in 325 degrees oven and cook for 5 to 5 1/2 hours. the paste on top of bird will blacken. You can cover with foil if this happens. I like the blackened seasoning on top.
