- 1 tbsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Paprika

- 1 tbsp Sage
- 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
Frying

Instructions
- Pat down the thawed turkey with a paper towel, then salt the turkey and place in the fridge for 24-48 hours before frying. Do not put a cover on it.
- 2 hours before frying, melt the butter then mix in the chicken and broth creole seasoning. Fill your injector with the mixture and inject the breasts (several times), thigh, legs, and wings.
- Mix the dry rub seasonings and cover the turkey (top, sides, and bottom) in the mixture. Place back into the fridge uncovered until ready to fry.
