Turkey

Method

Preparing the Turkey

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Turkey

    Remove the turkey giblets and rinse the turkey under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels.

  3. 3

    Season the Turkey

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture all over the turkey, ensuring to get it under the skin for maximum flavor.

  4. 4

    Roast the Turkey

    Place the turkey breast-side up in a roasting pan. Roast the turkey for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste it with BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes of roasting.

  5. 5

    Rest the Turkey

    Once done, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.

Preparing the Salad

  1. 6

    Combine the Greens

    In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top the mixed greens with crispy cheddar onions, diced tomatoes, corn, and black beans.

  3. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the chipotle ranch dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve

    Slice the turkey and serve it over the salad, drizzled with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
