Caribbean Roasted Turkey
1 Turkey, 10-12 pounds
4 TB butter, melted
3 TB Signature Spices Caribbean Rub
2 tsp Salt
4 cup of water or chicken stock
Remove the neck, giblets, and liver from the cavity of the turkey. Rinse the turkey
inside and out under cold running water.
Create a wet rub by combining the butter, salt and Signature Spices Caribbean Rub
in a small bowl. Use this rub under the skin, by gently lifting the skin away from the
turkey breast. Make a large pocket to easily spoon in the rub mixture and evenly
distribute over the meat. Place the turkey in a large roasting pan, add the water and
cover. Roast in a 325 degree oven until an instant-read meat thermometer registers
165 degrees F when inserted into the largest section of thigh (avoiding the bone),
about 2 3/4 to 3 hours total cooking time. Baste the turkey once every hour with 1/2
to 3/4 cup chicken or turkey stock. Remove the cover to allow browning the last 20
minutes of cooking if necessary.
