Mix together paprika, garlic, black pepper, sage, Lowrie seasoned salt, and nutmeg in a bowl.

Prepare a Vidalia onion by cutting it and set it aside for stuffing inside the turkey.

Stuff the whole Vidalia onion into the cavity of the turkey for added flavor.

Add a handful of dried bay leaves into the turkey cavity.

Take about half of the seasoning mixture and place it inside the turkey cavity as well.

Spray the outside of the turkey with olive oil using a mister to help the seasoning stick.

Sprinkle the remaining seasoning mixture evenly across the top of the turkey, ensuring it is well distributed.

Add about half a cup of water to the bottom of the roasting pan to keep the turkey moist and prevent sticking.

Cover the turkey with foil and place it in the oven for roasting.
