Ingredients
  • 12 pound or larger turkey, cleaned and giblets removed
  • Bayou Spice Recipe
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons white black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon creole spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • salt
  • Sauce:
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 1 cup favorite bbq sauce
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • *1/2 cup bourbon(optional)

Directions
  1. Mix together all ingredients for Bayou Spice Rub.
  2. Rub on turkey and under skin(I loosen the skin and put my hand under to push spice around under the skin)
  3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  4. Place turkey in roaster pan and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
  5. Lower heat to 225 and bake for 8 hour or overnight, basting with juices every so often ( I do this several times before going to bed and then twice when I get up in the morning)
  6. Check turkey to make sure it is completely cooked.
  7. If not, continue cooking at 350 degrees until cooked.
  8. In sauce pan, melt butter.
  9. Add brown sugar and bbq sauce.
  10. Cook over low/med heat for 5 minutes.
  11. Stir in bourbon and continue to cook for a few minutes longer.
  12. Remove turkey from oven.
  13. Brush on sauce and return to oven and cook for 5 to 10 minutes longer.
  14. Use juices as a side sauce. This can be thickened if desired by adding bbq sauce to it.
  15. Before serving, pour a little of the juices over the turkey.
  16. Let sit a few minutes before carving.
