Spicy Turkey Roast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Remove mesh from the turkey.
Lay turkey out as flat as possible on cutting board, placing the skin side down.
Combine the garlic, rosemary, paprika, pepper and salt in blender or food processor.
Turn on; add oil and process 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.
Remove from oven.
Let stand 20 minutes before removing string.
Cut thin slices to serve.
Scrape up cooking juices from bottom of pan.
Spoon over meat or thicken with flour and add chicken broth for a gravy, if desired.
