Spicy Turkey Roast - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 whole boneless turkey (4 lb. thawed)
    8 to 10 large cloves garlic
    3 Tbsp. rosemary
    1 tsp. paprika
    1 Tbsp. coarsely ground black pepper
    1 tsp. coarse kosher style salt
    2 Tbsp. olive oil
    rosemary sprigs and red pepper (for garnish, optional)
Preparation
    Remove mesh from turkey.
    Lay turkey out as flat as possible on a cutting board, skin side down.
    Combine garlic, rosemary, pepper and salt in blender.
    Turn on and add oil until coarsely chopped. Spread 1/2 of the garlic mixture over the inside of the turkey. Reroll the turkey.
    Tie firmly with string every 2-inches to return to original log shape.
    Spread evenly with remaining garlic mixture.
    Place on rack in roasting pan.
    Roast at 350\u00b0 for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
    A long log shape takes less time than a more compact roast.
    Remove from oven and let rest for 20 minutes before removing the strings.
    Cut thin slices to serve.
    Garnish.
    Pour juice from meat over turkey.
