Dutch Cast Iron Cajun Turkey Recipe
Ingredients for Turkey
- 1 6 to 8-pound turkey, patted dry
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup Cajun Spice Mix (see below for ingredients to make your mix)
- 1 celery stalk, coarsely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup (or more) olive or vegetable oil
Ingredients for Cajun Spice Mix
- 5 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
Stir together.
NOTE: You can make the spice mix up to one month ahead. Store airtight in room temperature.
Recipe Preparation
NOTE: If you’d like your turkey to have a crisp coat, then you can add oil to a large cast iron skillet and lay the turkey in the skillet once it’s hot for 30 seconds moving turkey around before putting in Dutch Cast Iron Pot.
- Set a rack inside a large heavy Dutch Cast Iron Pot. Season turkey lightly inside and out with salt and pepper, then with spice mix, massaging it into the skin. Transfer turkey, breast side down, to prepared pan and refrigerate, uncovered, overnight.
- Remove turkey from refrigerator; let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°. Mix celery, pepper, and onion in a medium bowl. Fill turkey cavity with vegetable mixture, scattering any remaining vegetables over bottom of roasting pan. Brush turkey with oil.
- Roast turkey, basting occasionally, for 1 hour. Using paper towels, flip turkey. Roast, basting occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh registers 165°, 1–1 1/2 hours longer. Transfer to platter. Let rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
