Roasted Butterball Fresh Whole Turkey
There's nothing better than a turkey fresh out of the oven! And this Roasted Butterball Turkey recipe should be your chosen one!
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Aluminum Foil
Ingredients
- 1 Butterball Fresh Whole Turkey (Mine had 10 lbs.)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Coarse Salt
- 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
- ½ tbsp Paprika
- ½ tbsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tbsp Chili Powder
- ½ tbsp Pepper
- ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the turkey, place it on the counter, and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Mix the spices with oil and gently rub the seasoning into the turkey. Then, let the seasoning sit on the turkey for about 15 minutes before cooking it.
- While the turkey is marinating in the seasoning, preheat the oven. Set the temperature at 375 °F, i.e., 165 °C, and wait for about 15 minutes for the oven to heat up.
- Place the turkey on a parchment-covered baking tray and position it with the breast side up. For the best possible result, cover the turkey with aluminum foil.
- The cooking time is about 15 minutes per pound. Butterball turkeys usually weigh between 10 and 16 pounds, so bake between 150 and 240 minutes.
- Cook the turkey covered the entire time. No basting is needed during the process because the meat will be tender, soft, flavorful, and juicy.
- After you uncover the turkey, so after 75 minutes or 120, respectively, it’s time to baste it. You can use a spoon or a turkey baster for this activity. Just pour the turkey juices over the turkey.
- And that's it! Your roasted Butterball is ready to serve and enjoy!
