May 13, 2019
Ingredients
- 1 medium turkey
- ***FOR THE RUB***
- 1/4 cup paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 1 dash lemon pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground dry mustard
- ***FOR THE MOP***
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup soft drink of choice
- 1 dash sweet hot mustard
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash pepper
- 1 dash poultry seasoning
Directions
- Step 1 Taste the rub–none of the ingredients should overpower another, if one does, adjust.
- Step 2 Rub the turkey inside and out, and refrigerate over night
- Step 3 Cook the turkey breast side down.
- Step 4 Mop when you adjust your fire.
- Step 5 When the turkey was nearly done, I brought it in the house to finish in the oven. (Needed the gravy!)
- Step 6 This is the same way I do chicken, and haven’t received one complaint yet.
- Step 7 Note that all my ingredients are approximate amounts, and I don’t always use all of them. It’s all to taste, and all depends on what I got.
- Step 8 Always starts with paprika and garlic though.
