1 Tbsp lemon puree or 1 Tbsp lemon zest
1 Tbsp capers, chopped
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp Ras el Hanout spice
1 Tbsp rosemary, chopped

1 tsp orange zest
2 Tbsp orange juice
1 tsp Ras el Hanout spice

Directions
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, anchovies, lemon, capers, mustard herbs, and spices together to form a loose paste.
Rub the turkey on both sides and inside where the bone was removed with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight, for maximum flavour, or at least 3 hours.
Turn the oven on to 400°F.
To cook the turkey, remove from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for about an hour. Season the turkey with salt and pepper, then lay the turkey, on a rack, in a large roasting pan. Place turkey in the oven and roast for 15 minutes, then lower heat to 350°F. Continue to roast turkey until thermometer inserted into thickest part registers to 165°F about 1 hour. Transfer turkey to platter and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Sprinkle ¼ cup pomegranate seeds, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve with minted pomegranate yoghurt.
