One of my favorite seasoning to use is Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning. Here is one of my favorite jerk seasoning that I like to prepare this dish for dinner at least two few times during the year and definitely bake at least two to three of them for thanksgiving every year. My family loves having this as part of our thanksgiving dinner instead of the regular baked turkey. Leftovers make for a great jerk sandwich. Hope you have a chance to try the recipe and you enjoy.
