Instructions
- Place oven rack in the lowest position. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place a roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan. Mix poultry seasoning, paprika, seasoned salt, garlic powder, pepper, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
- Place the turkey, breast-side up, in the prepared pan. Sprinkle about 1/2 of the seasoning mixture inside the turkey. Stuff with onion and bay leaves. Brush the turkey breast with oil. Spread the remaining seasoning mixture over the entire surface and under the skin of the turkey. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan. Cover turkey loosely with heavy-duty foil.
- Roast for 1 hour. Remove the foil. Roast for an additional 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (175°F in the thigh), basting occasionally with pan juices. Remove the turkey from the oven. Let it stand for 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter or carving board to slice. Reserve pan juices to make gravy or serve with turkey.
