UPDATE ***** We made it again this year and it is amazing!!! The most flavorful and tender turkey! In case you are wondering. you need 1 tbsp. of garlic salt, onion salt. 1/8 cup of lemon juice. Strain and use the chunks from the Italian dressing to cover the outside and put some on the inside AND out either season salt or poultry seasoning on the outside too... seriously amazing!! :)
