Roast Turkey

1 12-pound turkey
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt to taste
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Oil for brushing turkey
2 cups water
directions
Combine seasonings and rub on inside and outside of turkey. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Tie turkey legs together and fasten wings to sides. Brush turkey with oil and stuff loosely with stuffing. Roast turkey, breast side up, in a 325 degree F oven for 1½ hours. Add 2 cups water to pan and roast for an additional 2 ½ to 3 hours, basting 3 to 4 times. When drumstick pulls away easily from body, turkey is done. If turkey becomes too brown, cover with a tent of aluminum foil during last half hour of baking. Remove from oven and let stand 20 minutes before slicing. Serves 14-15.
