Toms Turkey Recipe - Healthy Solutions Spice Blends

Toms Turkey Blend

Preparation Time: 10 minutes Makes 8-16 servings
Cook Time: 2.5-5 hours depending on size

10-20 lbs. Turkey
1 Tbsp per 5 lbs of Turkey Pork & Poultry Rub
¼ - ½ cup Unsweetened Cranberry Apple Juice (use only with marinating directions)
2 - 4 Tbsp. salted butter, softened (use only with rub directions)

Note: If using with an injector you may want to put seasoning in blender or grinder to make it a finer grain and easier to inject

MARINATING DIRECTIONS: Mix Toms Turkey Blend with with juice and let sit a minimum of 1 hour to allow for flavors to blend. Use an injector or syringe to inject the marinade into the turkey. Preheat oven to 325° and roast for approximately 15 minutes per pound (for a bird up to 16 pounds). Add 12 minutes per pound for each pound over 16. Insert thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, not touching the bone. It should read 175°-180° degrees for dark meat and 165°-170° for white meat. Let stand for at least 20 minutes.

RUB DIRECTIONS: Combine the seasonings and softened butter in a bowl. Gently pull the skin away from the meat and spread the mixture between the turkey and the skin. Cook for the same amount of time as above. For stronger flavor that reaches the thicker meat, rub additional seasoning on the inside cavity of the bird. If stuffing your bird, when you are mixing your stuffing, add 1 tablespoon of seasoning per 16 oz. bag of stuffing cubes, to increase the flavor.
