How To Make traditional salvadorian christmas turkey recipe

• 
  Step 1
  In a frying pan, add the relajo and cook it for a minute or two. The ingredients for the relajo are: bay leaves, achiote, chiles, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds—and then more idiosyncratic additions like peanuts.
• 
  Step 2
  In a blender, add the cooked relajo with 1 strained tomato bottle, 1 box chicken broth, some Knorr chicken seasoning and blend. If it is too thick, add more chicken broth. I usually have a couple of bottles of both in case I need to add more of the tomato and chicken broth.
• 
  Step 3
  Before preparing anything, I clean the turkey and giblets with lemon juice and water.
• 
  Step 4
  Place the clean turkey in a roasting pan. When the sauce is done, make sure you use a strainer to pour it on the turkey.
• 
  Step 5
  Put the turkey into a preheated oven at 300 degrees F. I usually start preparing the turkey the day before. And I put it in the oven around 6 AM. It does take about 2 to 3 hours.
