180 min
medium
10 servings
Servings4
1 (12-14 lb.) turkey (thawed)
4 tbsp freshly cracked pepper (white, black, and pink)
½ cup sea salt
2 tbsp powdered onions
2 tbsp powdered garlic
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp honey crystals or brown sugar
Fresh herbs: rosemary, sage, thyme, bay leaves
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
6 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
1

Pat the turkey dry and break it down by removing the wings, legs, and backbone.

2

Mix the brine ingredients and coat the turkey. Refrigerate uncovered for 1-2 days.

3

After brining, place the turkey on a foil-lined tray with a wire rack and let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours.

4

Simmer herbs, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and honey crystals until the glaze thickens.

5

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Rub the turkey with oil and roast for 20-25 minutes, then reduce the heat to 300°F.

6

Brush the turkey with the glaze every 20 minutes, adding water to the tray as needed. Roast until the breast reaches 150°F and the thighs 170°F.

7

Let the turkey rest for 30 minutes before carving.
