This produced the juiciest turkey I've ever eaten! I didn't have time to buy cajun and greek seasoning. Instead, I used garlic salt, onion salt, and poultry seasoning. DH and I are already talking about making this for next year's Thanksgiving and will be trying it with your suggested seasonings. Thanks for posting!
