The Orginal Roasted Anchoite Jerk Turkey
Mark Mattern, MBA, CEC
• 1 (8 to 10 pound) Turkey
• Kosker Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ cup Anchoite paste
• ¼ cup of walkerwoods wet jerk paste
• 1 medium onion, quartered
• 1 head garlic, halved
• Several sprigs fresh herbs, such as; thyme, parsley, rosemary and sage.
• 2 bay leaves
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
Directions
Adjust a rack to lowest position and remove other racks. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Remove turkey parts from neck and breast cavities and reserve for other uses, if desired. Dry bird well with paper towels, inside and out. Salt and pepper inside the breast cavity and stuff the onion, garlic, herb, and bay leaves inside. Rub with anchoite and walkerwood jerk paste. Set the bird on a roasting rack in a roasting pan; breast side up and brush generously with half the butter and season with salt and pepper. Tent the bird with foil.
Roast the turkey for 2 hours. Remove the foil and baste with the remaining butter. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F and continue to roast until an instant read thermometer registers 165 degrees F in the thigh of the bird, about 45 minutes more.
Remove turkey form the oven and set aside to rest for 15 minutes before carving. Carve and serve with dressing.
