Na, it's the kids version.

Here's the recipe, my aunt wanted it so I typed it up for her a few years ago.

Traditional turkey

You'll need a digital cooking thermometer and marinade injector.

Rub
1 tsp of onion powder
1 tsp of paparika
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of rubbed sage
1 tsp of thyme leaves
1 tsp of rosemary


Injection marinade (make ahead of time and cook on low so flavors are infused in butter)
2 sticks of melted butter
1 tsp rubbed sage
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of thyme leaves
1 tsp of rosemary

Dry brine rub
Half cup of kosher salt
1 tsp of baking powder

Stuffing
1 lemon
3 carrots
3 stalks of celery
1 small onion
1 bay leaf

1. Take the defrosted turkey and run your hand under the skin freeing it from the breast all the way from front to back.
2. Rub dry rub mix under the skin but save a little to sprinkle the top right before you cook.
3. Inject the marinade into the breast and legs. Go slow so it doesn't squirt out every where.
4. Sprinkle the whole turkey(top, bottom, etc) thoroughly with dry brine rub.
5. Place on pan with a rack preferably, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the fridge for a day to day and a half.

Once Dry Brined
1. Microwave onion cut in half, lemon cut in half, and carrots and celery cut in thirds for about 3 minutes til tender. Stuff in turkey.
2. Sprinkle some of the left over dry brine and dry rub over the top and sides of the turkey.
3. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
4. While preheating, fold a piece of aluminum foil into a triangle and fit it so it will cover the breast, but not the legs.
5. Place turkey uncovered in oven for 30 minutes.
6. Pull out Turkey, cover with foil triangle, insert thermometer in center of turkey breast running from from towards the back and set it for 162 degrees. Turn oven down to 350. Reinsert turkery.
7. Cook until it reaches 162. Pull out, cover with foil, and let rest 40 minutes before carving.
