Deep-Fried Turkey Marinade

SUBMITTED BY: BDWERNER  PHOTO BY: JULES2JEWELS 

"This is a great recipe a friend gave to my father two years ago. It is easy, and allows you to have more room in the oven for other holiday favorites. It is also the most tender turkey I've ever made. This rub is appropriate for a 12 to 14 pound turkey."
