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.


 * 1) Other seasonings are to taste.


 * 1) I never did measure.


 * 1) This is a coating you can put on all poultry before roasting.


 * 1) Basically you make a paste of the above ingredients.


 * 1) It should be the consistencey of finger paint--thick and not runny.


 * 1) If you have kids, put them in old clothes and let them help.


 * 1) I smear it in and out of the cavity.


 * 1) Notice that this does not have any gravy master or oil...both unneeeded in my opinion.


 * 1) The skin cooks nice and crisp.


 * 1) Remember to baste during cooking.


 * 1) 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.


 * 1) When howard was in training to be a chef, he brought home a bunch of fellow students for dinner.


 * 1) Not one of them even came close to guessing that the Turkey had been made in the nuke.
