How to make the most simple, yet flavorful roast turkey made with exclusive Rosamae Seasonings!
Hey cousins! I have the most simple roast turkey recipe for you all to try! I swear, you need very few ingredients, and the outcome will be simply amazing. For this roast turkey recipe, all you need is whole turkey, Rosamae Seasoning Salt, Rosamae Poultry Seasoning, unsalted butter, and olive or avacado oil! Sounds like an easy roast turkey recipe right? Well it is, so let’s jump right into it!
Whole Roasted Turkey made with special Rosamae Seasonings
First things first, it’s ALL about the Rosamae Seasonings, and I’m not just saying this because it’s MY brand, I’m stating facts. Rosamae Seasonings isn’t like other seasonings. We don’t rely on artificial flavors, chemicals, dyes, and salt. We use real ingredients!
Rosamae’s Poultry Seasoning is made of celery salt, garlic, onion, sage, rosemary, pepper, and a few other ingredients. It pairs well with ALL poultry such as chicken, turkey, and even duck. Our seasoning salt is a combination of sea salt, paprika, garlic, thyme, and more. It’s all purpose! Make sure that you have both on hand during this holiday season to step your cooking game up a few notches!
This recipe is for a 8 lb turkey. However you can definitely double the ingredients for a larger one. Also keep in mind that if you roast a larger turkey it will take longer to cook. Add an additional 15 minutes for cooking per pound for larger turkeys.

Hey Rosie, Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful recipes with us all. I’m also leaving a comment to be entered in the Thanksgiving Dinner Giveaway. As we all know 20-21 had been a challenging year for us all and even having with issues of my own going on. I would like to give this Thanksgiving Dinner to a friend and her 6 children. She has really been going a lot and just recently she lost her job and a parent. So, I’m hoping that this Thanksgiving Dinner will help bring a smile to her face. Thanks Again, Rosie
