If you do not have an injection tool, you can put the mixture in the turkey cavity and distribute it inside several times, then let it dry and then re-distribute it so that the turkey meat can absorb it as much as possible. .
Butter Mixture: In a dish, put the butter, paprika, garlic and salt. Mix it well.

Using a brush, redistribute this liquid to the turkey several times. Cook the turkey for two hours or more, depending on the weight of the turkey, until it is cooked. In some types of turkeys , you find a small piece of plastic attached to the turkey’s chest. When it is well cooked, it comes outward, indicating that it is ready.
Allow the turkey to rest for about 15 minutes before cutting or serving,
Place cooked rice in a large serving tray and garnish with your preferred fried nuts such as (almonds, pistachio, pine nuts, cashew).
