Turkey Spice Butter

1 cup unsalted butter Softened
2 tsp coarse salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp thyme (dried)
1 tsp cumin ground
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Divide in half

Clean Turkey. Instead of baking turkey in a turkey pan bake it on a broiler pan. Crisscross celery sticks and carrots (which will be completely burned by the end) and put turkey on top. This helps the turkey cook evenly. Stuff the turkey with oranges, lemons and onions. When the turkey is done the thigh will read 180 degrees.

Bake Turkey 30 min @425 degrees (This smokes up the house so make sure you open your windows for some ventilation.) Doing this crisps the outside of the turkey so that it moist inside.

Reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook turkey 3-4 hours basting with spice butter every 30-40 min.
