Method

1. Wash the turkey well and let it drain.
2. Place the remaining ingredients in a blender and grind them until you have a smooth mixture.
3. Separate the turkey skin from the meat and make slits all over the turkey.
4. Spread the mixture well under the turkey skin.
5. Place it in an oven roasting bag and leave it in the refrigerator overnight so the meat absorbs the mixture.
