Peruvian turkey: loosening the skin
- peeled garlic cloves
- dry oregano
- paprika
- cumin
- freshly ground black pepper
- soy sauce
- oil
- vinegar
Blend garlic, dry oregano, two kinds of paprika, a lot of cumin, black pepper, soy sauce, oil and vinegar about a minute into a thick, smooth paste.
Spread the rub over the turkey and squeegee a couple of tablespoons under the skin on each side of the breast; cover every surface.
- kosher salt
Move to a roasting pan, tie the legs, put about half the leftover rub in the cavity and reserve about a quarter cup; sprinkle all over with kosher salt.
About half an hour before done, remove the foil, brush with the glaze and roast until the thickest part of the thigh reads about 170 to 175; rest at least 20 minutes.
- creme fraiche
- jalapeno pepper
- fresh cilantro
- chicken stock
- lime juice
Blend creme fraiche, jalapeno, cilantro, chicken stock and lime juice smooth.
- salt, pepper and cayenne
Pour the fat off the roasting pan, set over medium-high heat, add the green mixture, simmer while scraping up the fond, then boil and reduce until thick enough to spoon; season with salt, pepper and cayenne.
