Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Mix all of the dry rub ingredients in a small bowl.
- Put the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Generously season the turkey cavity with salt and pepper, to taste. Brush the turkey with olive oil, and rub it with the seasoning mixture. Tie the legs together loosely to hold their shape, and tuck the wing tips under.
- Roast the turkey until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh registers 165 to 170 degrees F, about 3 hours.
- Transfer the turkey to a platter. Tent it very loosely with foil, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes (the internal temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees). Reserve the juices in the pan.
- Gravy: Scrape the juices and browned bits from the roasting pan into a large glass measuring cup. Spoon off the fat, reserving 2 tablespoons. If necessary, add enough stock to the juices to measure 1 2/3 cups.
- Heat the reserved 2 tablespoons fat in a heavy, large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, and shallots, and saute for 2 minutes. Add the flour and whisk until golden, about 4 minutes. Add the degreased pan juices, and the 2 cups stock. Bring to a boil, whisking until smooth. Reduce the heat and simmer until the gravy is reduced to the desired consistency, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the lemon juice, and the sour cream. Season the gravy with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the gravy into a serving bowl. Carve the turkey and arrange it on a serving platter. Serve the turkey with the gravy.

CREOLE-STUFFED TURKEY
Trying out new recipes is such a "passion" of mine that my husband sometimes will ask to have something for dinner that he's actually seen before! My Creole-Stuffed Turkey originated when my sister from Texas and her family-who love Southern cooking-were here one Thanksgiving. Everyone kept coming back for another serving...and we ended up stuffed, too.

The sensational Creole Butter helps make the breast meat moist and flavorful and the Recipe #337979 adds to the Creole flavor.

CREOLE TURKEY RUB
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Grind bay leaves into a fine powder. Combine Creole Seasoning and other ingredients together. Divide into 3 equal parts. Rub one third on the inside of the turkey, one third over the breasts and one third over the rest of the turkey. For best results refrigerate the rubbed turkey overnight to allow the flavors to sink in.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a whole turkey that has been brined for at least 12 hours.
- If you don't have time to brine the turkey, you can inject it with a Creole-inspired marinade.
- Be generous with the Creole rub, making sure to coat the entire turkey, inside and out.
- If you're using a smoker, maintain a temperature of 225-250°F (107-121°C) and smoke the turkey for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- If you're roasting the turkey in the oven, cook it at 325°F (163°C) for 13-15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
- Serve the turkey with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy.
