Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 tablespoons McCormick Rubbed Sage or McCormick Poultry Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon McCormick Paprika

  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt

  • 2 teaspoons McCormick Garlic Powder

  • 1 teaspoon McCormick Black Pepper, Ground

  • ¾ teaspoon McCormick Ground Nutmeg

  • 1 turkey (12 to 14 pounds), fresh or frozen, thawed

  • 1 large onion, cut into wedges

  • 6 McCormick Bay Leaves

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Place oven rack in lowest position. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place roasting rack in shallow roasting pan. Mix sage or poultry seasoning, paprika, seasoned salt, garlic powder, pepper and nutmeg in small bowl.

  2. Pat turkey dry with paper towels. Place turkey, breast-side up, in prepared pan. Sprinkle about half of the seasoning mixture inside of turkey. Stuff with onion and bay leaves. Brush turkey breast with oil. Spread and rub 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.

  3. Roast 1 hour. Remove foil. Roast 2 to 2 ½ hours longer or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (175 degrees F in thigh), basting occasionally with pan juices. Remove turkey from oven. Let stand 20 minutes. Transfer to platter or carving board to slice. Reserve pan juices to make gravy or to serve with turkey.
