Steps

1

Mix spice rub in a bowl. Sprinkle spice rub into cavity of turkey. Loosen skin from meat and rub spic mixture under the skin. Rub remaining mixture onto turkeys skin.
2

Melt butter for injector sauce in a saucepan and add dressing. You can grate a clove of garlic in and put some dill or fresh parsley, if doing so remember to strain the sauce as it cannot be injected.
3

Inject the sauce into the turkey and refrigerate overnight or upto24 hours.
4

Preheat oven to 325° F. Set rack at lowest position.
5

Place turkey in roasting pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stuff the turkey with the stuffing ingredients. I did not eat these instead used them for flavor.
6

Roast the turkey for about 4-5 hours. Baste every 30-45 minutes.
7

Internal temperature should be 165°F in the thickest part of thigh.
8

Let rest for 30 minutes, cover with foil.
