  • Remove neck and giblets from cavity of turkey.
  • Combine all ingredients for the piri-piri marinade in your blender and blend until smooth.
  • Marinate the turkey for 24 hours in refrigerator in this marinade (pour it into the cavity and massage it onto all surfaces) – turn as needed after 12 hours or use a very large freezer bag.
  • Place the turkey and marinade in a large roasting pan, breast side down and cook at 300°F for 1.5 hours.
