Delicious Roasted Turkey With 7 Spices in the oven Easy Method Episode

Ingredients for the marinade:
1 tablespoon of mixed 7 spices
1 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup yogurt
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil or any other oil
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
Other ingredients:
Turkey
Heavy duty aluminum foil
parchment paper (optional)
-Defrost the turkey by putting the frozen turkey in the fridge for 3-5 days depending on the weight.
-Remove the bag and the giblet from inside and wash well inside out.
-Dry well and put it in a large tray or bowl or something so you can keep it in the fridge all night.
-Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and massage it on the turkey. Try to go inside the turkey as well under the skin being careful not to tear the skin.
-Cover and Keep in the fridge all night.
-The next day, pull the turkey from the fridge an hour before you roasted it so it comes to a room temperature.
-Lay down a large layer of aluminum foil first then top it with parchment paper.
-Put the turkey in the middle breast down and wrap the parchment paper first then aluminum. Close everything very well and don't let any air get in or out but leave some
space so the hot air can circulate during the cooking time.
-Put the wrapped turkey on a baking sheet or wrack.
-Roast in a preheated oven at 350F for 3-4 hours depending on the turkey weight.
-Check the turkey for doneness with the thermometer. The thermometer should read 165 F in the thickest part of the breast and 175F in the thickest part on thigh. Mine was 12 pound and I cooked for about 3 hour. We like our turkey to be so tender.
-When it is done to your liking, you can uncover and put it under the broiler to get a nice color on it.
-Pull out from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
-Enjoy it with your desired side dishes. Links below for all the side dishes that I like to serve with it.
