4 Ingredient Tandoori Crusted Turkey

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 3 hours 30 minutes
Servings 1 turkey

Equipment

  • twine

Ingredients

  • 1 turkey
  • 3 packets Sukhi's Tandoori Marinade 9 oz
  • 4 ounces ghee or 1 stick of clarified butter
  • 4 oranges

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, melt ghee and mix with tandoori marinade. Allow the mixture to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • Carefully slide your fingers between the skin and breast meat of the turkey. Spread the marinade mixture under the skin and around the outside of the turkey.
  • Cut two oranges into quarters and place the sections inside the turkey cavity. Tie the legs together with twine and place the turkey breast-side up in a roasting pan.
  • Roast for 45 minutes. Baste the turkey with its juices, lower the temperature to 325 °F, and continue to baste every 20-30 minutes, for a total of 2 hours.
  • Roast until the skin is browned and the marinade forms a golden crust on the outside of the turkey. Insert an instant thermometer in the thigh to ensure that the internal temperature registers at least 155° F.
  • Tent with foil for 30 minutes. Garnish with remaining oranges, carve, and enjoy!
