PAPA ZA’S KITCHEN

It’s just about Thanksgiving and this turkey is the one! Best part is that you don’t even need a spice rack. Plus with this Super Simple Turkey recipe you don’t have to baste either and it’s quite possibly even juicier than you may be used to. Bold words I know but I’ll put my wing on the chopping block for this one.

Butter. Salt. Pepper. That’s it. Oh and the turkey of course, you’re gonna need one of those. The beauty of a super simple turkey recipe is that this bird is juicier than ever. And the skin is nice and crispy with a generous amount of buttery seasoning, gobble gobble indeed.
