Yield: 1 turkey | Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 4 hours, 15 minutes | Total time: 4 hours, 30 minutes

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Thoroughly rinse the turkey, discard the giblets. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.

2. Separate the skin over the breast to make little pockets. Put 3 tablespoons of butter on both sides between the skin and breast meat, to get very juicy breast meat.

3. In a medium bowl, combine the water with the bouillon. Pour over the top of the turkey.

4. Sprinkle seasoning salt, paprika, parsley and minced onion over the turkey.

Fool-proof and perfectly seasoned. The meat was delicious and very moist and the skin was perfectly crispy and golden brown - just the way I like it!
