INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon McCormick® Italian Seasoning or 1 tablespoon McCormick® Perfect Pinch® Salt Free Italian Seasoning

2 teaspoons seasoned salt

1 teaspoon McCormick® Mustard, Ground

1 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder

1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Black Pepper, Ground

1 whole turkey (12 to 14 pounds), fresh or frozen, thawed

DIRECTIONS

1. Place oven rack in lowest position. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place roasting rack in shallow roasting pan. Mix first 5 ingredients in small bowl.

Brush turkey breast with oil. Spread remaining seasoning mixture over entire surface and under skin of turkey. Add 1/2 cup water to pan. Cover loosely with heavy duty foil.
