    Cajun Spiced Turkey

    It’s time for some turkey talk!

    Cajun Spiced Roasted Turkey

    Is anyone as excited as I am for Thanksgiving?! I seriously love this time of year. I just feel like everyone is in a good mood and the best in people shine this time of year.

    Jake and I plan on spending Thanksgiving with his Mom and grandparents. They are the sweetest and I love spending the holiday with them. His grandpa has the best stories!

    What are your Thanksgiving plans?! Tel me, tell me!

    Cajun Spiced Roasted Turkey

    I am planning on bring several dishes this year including my famous chocolate pecan pie (which I won’t be able to have due to the Whole30) but I love making it! I am also bring the roasted autumn veggies I made in a previous post. I might even bring my Creamy Pumpkin soup as a starter!

    Planning is everything on the big day. Once everything is planned, stress goes away. It’s magic.

    So let’s talk turkey.

    Cajun Spiced Roasted Turkey

    Jennieo made it easy with their Oven Ready Turkey! I mean how much easier it can get than simply taking the turkey out of its exterior bag and punching a few holes in their oven safe bag. This oven safe bag is pretty genius as it keeps the bird hydrated the whole time.

    It also has a spicy twist. It’s rubbed with Cajun seasoning ALL over. It’s pretty incredible. Especially paired with some Cayenne Pepper Butternut Squash Fries!

    Take Thanksgiving up a notch and make this Cajun Spiced Roasted Turkey this year!

      This looks so good! I love the unique flavoring -- what a great way to spice up (literally!) typical Thanksgiving turkey. We are having some friends and family over this Thanksgiving, and I think they would love this! 🙂

      Love the idea of making a Cajun flavored turkey for Thanksgiving! I usually just buy Cajun seasoning but will have to try making it at home now!
