Thanksgiving Turkey Coating
This will do about a 13 – 15 lb turkey. Other seasonings are to taste. I never did measure. This is a coating you can put on all poultry before roasting. Notice that this does not have any gravy master or oil. Both unneeded in my opinion.

Ingredients
Method
1
Combine paprika, salt, garlic powder, dried onion, and pepper in a small mixing bowl, stirring until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
2
Add water gradually to the dry mixture, stirring constantly to form a smooth, spreadable paste without lumps.
3
Rub the paste evenly over the entire surface of the turkey, working it under the skin where possible and ensuring all exposed areas are well coated.
4
Let the coated turkey rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to allow the spices to adhere before roasting.
5
Roast the turkey according to standard instructions, adjusting any additional seasonings as needed during cooking to maintain the paprika-based coating's flavor profile.
