We made our Roasted Turkey recipe for Thanksgiving a little different this year. We stuck with our Cheesecloth Turkey recipe but made it a Cajun Roasted Turkey.
It might be past Thanksgiving, but I know some people still make a Turkey for Christmas. So, I thought I would share this delicious Cajun Roasted Cheesecloth Turkey recipe incase you're looking to do something a little bit different.
It has a delicious Cajun Herb Butter rub with a smokey flavor from smoked paprika, and a little heat from the cayenne pepper. Fresh rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, and plenty of minced garlic. Sage isn't traditional in cajun seasoning but it goes so well with Turkey I added it.
Sometimes it's fun to do something different and both styles of Roasted Turkeys are delicious in their own way. Both Turkeys turn out super juicy and so delicious!
I also shared at the end of this post how to make Gravy, since that is a common question I've been asked.
