  1. Can you use bone broth for the water to give it more flavor and can I use anything other than paprika? I can’t have it on my diet. Thank you!! Looking forward to making this!

    1. Hi Carol,
      Thanks for the question. The roasting pan has a rack, and the turkey is on the rack above the water, as you suggested. I have clarified this in the instructions.
      I really appreciate it and hope this is helpful!
      Best,
      Rochel
