Southern-Style Butterball Turkey Dinner

Butterball Whole Turkey on a roasting rack that’s sitting inside your roasting pan.  Use a pastry brush to coat the turkey in vegetable or canola oil, then transfer to your oven (Note: use the turkey calculator on Butterball.ca to determine your cook time – depending on which type of Whole Turkey you have, but always use a meat thermometer to check internal temperatures to be sure).

While the turkey is cooking, prepare your Southern-style sauce.  Whisk together the mayo, vinegar, mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire, horseradish, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, black pepper, and paprika well to combine.  Transfer most of the sauce to a serving bowl, reserving 1/3 cup for spreading onto the turkey.

When there’s only 1 hour left in your turkey cooking time, take out of the oven and brush the reserved sauce all over.  Return to the oven to finish roasting.

When done, check that the internal temperature in the breast is at least 165 and the temperature in the dark meat should be 180.

Rest, then carve!
