2 c store bought jerk sauce
One 10-12 lb turkey, neck and giblets removed
1 c unsalted butter, room temp
(Cornbread-Andouille Dressing, optional)
1. Rub jerk sauce outside and inside of turkey. Place breast-side down in 2gallon heavy duty marinating bag. Remove as much air as possible, refrigerate and marinate 24-48 hours, turning occasionally.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in lowest position in oven. Remove turkey from bag. Wipe jerk sauce off of inside and outside of turkey.
3. Season generously with salt and pepper, inside and outside of turkey. Rub butter under skin. Rub butter on outside of turkey and add more salt and pepper.
4. Lower oven temp to 325 degrees. Place turkey breast side up in lg roasting pan. Roast until temp reaches 165 degrees, about 3-3.5 hours. When skin gets browned, cover with foil to prevent over-browning or burning. Remove turkey to platter and let rest for 30 minutes before carving.
(Cook’s note: Stay tuned for more additions! This recipes calls for a Cornbread-Andouille Dressing to be lightly packed into the turkey cavity prior to cooking, so I will be adding it to the site!)
