Roasted Turkey with Italian Herbs

Course Entrées
Total Time 2 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • Young turkey about 13 Lb
  • 2 apples cut in four parts
  • 1 orange cut in half

Marinade:

  • 1 tbsp of whole black pepper
  • Salt to taste 4 Tbsp
  • 2/3 cup of Rosemary and thyme leaves
  • 3 cups of red wine
  • Filtered cold water

Mixture to cover turkey before cooking:

  • 7 tbsp of organic olive oil mayonnaise
  • ½ cup of red wine
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup of fresh pressed garlic
  • 1 tbsp of roasted mango chipotle sauce
  • 1/3 cup of coconut Aminos Teriyaki sauce

Cranberry sauce:

  • 8 - 12 Oz of organic fresh cranberries
  • ½ cup of wine
  • 2/3 cup of fresh squeezed oranges
  • 2/3 cup of organic maple syrup
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. To marinate the turkey,

    In a large size saucepan add enough water to cover turkey and ingredients for turkey marinade.

    Marinate turkey for 24-48 hours. Keep it in a cold place. This process will help your turkey to get soft, tender and moist.

  2. To make a mixture to cover turkey before cooking, we will need to mix all the (sauce) ingredients in a bowl. 

  3. Prepare a roasting pan appropriate for the turkey size. Place a big piece of aluminum foil on the bottom, and make sure that you left enough of the ends of the foil to wrap the turkey from the top.

    Take the turkey out of a saucepan, where it was marinated for 24 -48 hours and put it into the roasting pan.

    Cover turkey with mixture that we created and put apple and orange halves inside of the turkey.

    Put some fresh Italian herbs around the turkey or sprinkle it with the dry Italian herbs spice.

    Cover turkey with foil and connect the ends of the foiltight from the top and the sides of turkey.

    Put into the oven and roast it at 450 F for 60 min.

    After 60 minutes, take it out of the oven, open the foil and turn the turkey over.

    Close it back with the foil and continue to roast approximately 40 min.

    In 40 min open the foil and continue to cook until turkey has a golden color, approximately 20 more minutes.

For cranberry sauce,

  1. Place a saucepan on the stove over medium heat, put all the ingredients into it, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 min.

    Turn off the heat.
