For the Turkey
Place turkey on cutting board, breast side down. Using sharp poultry scissors or knife, cut down either side of backbone to remove it. Reserve to make stock, if desired. Turn turkey over, push down on breast and legs to flatten turkey. Place turkey on greased wire rack on rimmed roasting pan.
Heat oven to 325°F.
Rub seasoning mixture over turkey. Add 2 cups water to roasting pan. Loosely cover with foil.
Roast 1 hour. Remove foil. Continue to roast 1 to 1 ½ hours or until meat thermometer inserted in breast reads 170°F or inserted in thigh reads 180°F. Juices should run clear. Always confirm doneness with a meat thermometer. Let turkey stand at least 15 minutes before carving.
