Spicy Turkey Roast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 frozen whole boneless turkey (4 lb.), thawed as pkg. directs
3 Tbsp. rosemary
1 tsp. paprika
8 to 10 large cloves garlic
1 Tbsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp. coarse kosher style salt
2 Tbsp. olive oil
rosemary sprigs (for garnish; optional)
red pepper (for garnish; optional)

Preparation

Remove mesh from the turkey.
Lay turkey out as flat as possible on a cutting board, placing the skin side down.
Combine the garlic, rosemary, pepper and salt in the work bowl of the food processor with the steel blade in place, or in blender.
Turn motor on.
Add the oil, processing until coarsely chopped.
Spread half the garlic mixture over the inside of the turkey.
Re-roll the turkey.
Tie firmly with string every 2 inches to return the meat to its original log shape.
Spread evenly with the remaining garlic mixture.
Place on rack in roasting pan.
Roast at 350\u00b0 for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until a meat thermometer inserted in the center registers 170\u00b0.
A long log shape takes less time than a more compact roast.
