Thanksgiving Turkey Coating

Ingredients

 * 1/3 	cup  	Paprika
 * 1 	x 	Salt
 * 1 	x 	Garlic powder
 * 1 	x 	Onion, dried
 * 1 	x 	Pepper
 * 1 	x 	Water, to make paste

Directions

 * 1) This will do about a 13-15lb turkey.
 * 2) Other seasonings are to taste.
 * 3) I never did measure.
 * 4) This is a coating you can put on all poultry before roasting.
 * 5) Basically you make a paste of the above ingredients.
 * 6) It should be the consistencey of finger paint--thick and not runny.
 * 7) If you have kids, put them in old clothes and let them help.
 * 8) I smear it in and out of the cavity.
 * 9) Notice that this does not have any gravy master or oil...both unneeeded in my opinion.
 * 10) The skin cooks nice and crisp.
 * 11) Remember to baste during cooking.
 * Btw, use this in the nuke too.
 * 1) Sometimes we do a turkey or chicken in there when we have lot"s of other baking/roasting to do.
 * 2) When howard was in training to be a chef, he brought home a bunch of fellow students for dinner.
 * 3) Not one of them even came close to guessing that the turkey had been made in the nuke.
