            -GRAMMIE'S KITCHEN
     1/2 c  Paprika
            Salt
            Garlic powder
            Onion; dried
            Pepper
            Water; to make paste
            --LIKE a thick finger paint
  
   This will do about a 12lb turkey. Cut the amounts in half for a
   roasting chicken. Other seasonings are to taste. I never did measure.
   
   Here is a coating you can put on all poultry before roasting.
   Basically you make a paste of the above ingredients. It should be the
   consistency of finger paint; thick and not runny. If you have kids,
   put them in old clothes and let them help. I smear it in and out of
   the cavity. Notice that this does not have any Gravy Master or oil;
   both unneeded in my opinion. The skin cooks nice and crisp. Remember
   to baste during cooking.
   
   BTW, use this in the Nuke too. Sometimes we do a turkey or chicken in
   there when we have lot's of other baking/roasting to do. When Howard
   was in training to be a Chef, he brought home a bunch of fellow
   students for dinner. Not one of them even came close to guessing that
   the turkey had been made in the nuke.
   
   Since this has no added fat; (no usual added butter or oil); it helps
   keep the turkey moist without adding calories. I have done this on
   skinless breasts too. It adds minimal 'calorically'.
   
   I simply roast the chicken/or turkey the normal way (usually with a
   stuffing).  The skin is crisp and good (but probably not for you).
