How To Make turkey marinade

Step 1

Peel garlic and chop with food processor and add all the other ingredients. Blend well. It should be a thick , spreadable paste.

Step 2

Take your turkey and separate the skin with your hands, from the meat. Take a large handful of marinade and cover , very thoroughly, all areas of meat. Make sure to poke into wings, legs all hard to reach areas are very important to cover.
Step 3

If you have any marinade left over, spread on top of turkey before start baking. I like to marinade the night before and leave in frig wrapped up. Bake as usual but be prepared for a delicious, moist turkey! Enjoy!
