Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Turkey | 1 (12-14 pound), giblets and neck removed, rinsed and patted dry |
| Kosher Salt | 3 tablespoons |
| Black Pepper | 1 tablespoon |
| Paprika | 1 tablespoon |
| Cayenne Pepper | 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to desired spice level) |
| Softened Butter | 1 cup |
| Hot Sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot) | 1/2 cup |
| Garlic Cloves, minced | 3 |
| Yellow Onion, chopped | 1 |
| Celery Stalks, chopped | 2 |
| Carrots, chopped | 2 |
| Chicken Broth | 2 cups |
Cooking Guide
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Combine salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey, under the skin, and inside the cavity.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in hot sauce and garlic until well combined. Let cool slightly.
- Separate the skin from the breast meat using your fingers (carefully not to tear the skin). Loosen the skin enough to create a pocket. Brush half of the hot sauce mixture under the skin, coating the breast meat evenly.
- Stuff the cavity with the chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Tie the drumsticks together with kitchen twine.
- Place the turkey breast side up on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Brush the remaining hot sauce mixture over the top of the turkey. Pour chicken broth into the bottom of the pan.
- Roast the turkey for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue roasting for an additional 2-2 ½ hours, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Baste the turkey with pan drippings every 30 minutes for the last hour of cooking.
- Remove the turkey from the oven and tent with foil. Let rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
Tips
- For extra crispy skin, during the last 30 minutes of cooking, remove the foil tent and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) again.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure safe cooking temperature.
- Leftover turkey can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute your favorite hot sauce for the Frank’s RedHot in this recipe.
- For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or use a milder hot sauce.
