"This is one of my favorite ways to have turkey. It was really tasty with a little spice, and my son and I both loved it! The cooking time shown here is for an 8 pound turkey half. You can find the recipe here for Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning if you want to make your own to have on hand. It is delicious on and in so many things."

I had a whole half of a turkey to use up from the freezer and this looked too good to pass up. We loved the Cajun flavors imparted from the spices. It was so delicious! I served it with scalloped potatoes, stuffing and roasted butternut squash. A meal to remember!

I made a half turkey using this recipe in my convection oven and then cooked a whole turkey in my regular oven. Those that tried this one loved it! A bit spicy from the Tony's, gave it so much flavor.

Oh Linda, did we ever love this turkey! It was just the two of us this year but I wanted to make a special meal non the less. This was perfect for us. We loved the spice, which added just enough flavor to make it taste great! The turkey was moist and melt in your mouth tender. We had a feast and I already have 2 turkeys that I bought on sale and cut in half and ready to go when we get a hankering for turkey.
