Ingredients

  • 1 12-14 lb turkey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking dish
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Aluminum foil
  • Basting brush

Method

  1. Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey cavity and pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the turkey, making sure to get it under the skin as well.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, and olive oil. Add the chopped onion and bay leaves and mix well.
  4. Place the turkey in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the turkey. Seal the bag and refrigerate overnight.
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the turkey from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan. Discard the marinade.
  6. Add the chicken broth to the roasting pan and cover the turkey with aluminum foil.
  7. Roast the turkey for 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices.
  8. Remove the aluminum foil and roast the turkey for an additional 1-2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey registers 165°F.
  9. Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving.
  10. Carve the turkey and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • If you don't have a resealable plastic bag, you can marinate the turkey in a large bowl covered with plastic wrap.
  • If the skin starts to get too dark, cover it with aluminum foil to prevent it from burning.
  • You can use the pan juices to make gravy by whisking in some flour and cooking until thickened.
