Southwestern Roasted Turkey with Pan Gravy

Being a lover of Southwestern style foods, and I cook turkey every couple months, this recipe just happened over about 5 years, although I can't remember exactly when I finally wrote this recipe down (it is and will remain a work in progress as the years go by). It does make a very flavorful and juicy turkey and is almost perfect served with its own gravy and my Southwestern Sausage and Cornbread Stuffing. I'm not a fan of
stuffing the bird so I roast my dressing in a large baking dish (see my next recipe).
