never cooked a turkey before but giving it a shot this year. I will be doing it on a rotisserie. I have the injectable marinade but was wondering about what to do to the outside. do i need to add any seasoning? my dad also mentioned something about rubbing it down with oil

Oil will make the skin crunchy.

Just salt and pepper. I wouldn't oil the skin. It makes it cook to fast especially a turkey and by the time the meat is cooked the skin is burned. Be sure to dry it very well inside and out and liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper inside the cavity too. If you have some poultry seasoning you can use but really not needed. Keep a thermometer handy and check often so you don't over cook.

The skin has enough fat just under it to brown and crisp up on its own.

Salt, pepper, olive oil base for the outside. Fresh chopped basil and thyme and rosemary(put some of that in the bird). Inside of the bird a mixture of onion, celery, garlic, and granny smith apples(diced), and lemons quartered.

That's the thing with injectable marinades, you can inject right before cooking, with that being said, I usually do mine the day before, simply because, Lol..... Enjoy

Truss it up really well before you put it on the rotisserie or you're going to have a mess in there.

Happy Holidays!

1/2 cup instant coffee, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup black pepper, 1/4 cup kosher salt, 1/4 cup garlic powder, 1/3 cup chile powder. Mix together, rub upon select dinner item, cook and enjoy. Internal temp of turkey should be at 160 when done. Much more than that you run the risk of over cooking the breast.
