Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pat the 5kg turkey dry with paper towels, inside and out.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tbsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.
Step 3
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin and inside the cavity.
Step 4
Place the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for about 3 hours, until the skin is golden and crispy and a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
Step 5
Remove from oven and let rest for 20 minutes before carving. The juices will redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
