(India ki Turkey)
Category: Grilled and Dry-Cooked Chicken and Turkey Dishes
Makes 10 to 12 servings
Nobody in India makes turkey. Yet in America, Thanksgiving turkey has become a yearly ritual for most Indian families. Over the years, my husband Pradeep and I have tried different recipes until one year, we made a turkey with tandoori flavors and served it with my cranberry chutney. There's been no turning back.
As a standard rule for roasting a turkey without stuffing, allow 15 minutes per pound; for a stuffed turkey, increase the cooking time to 18 minutes per pound.


   __ to 16 pounds fresh turkey (1 whole), washed and patted dry
   __ to 25 raw cashew nuts
   __ quarter-size slices peeled fresh ginger
   __ cloves fresh garlic (large), peeled
   _ to 5 fresh green chili peppers, such as serrano, stemmed
   _ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, including soft stems
   ___ cup fresh mint leaves
   _ 1/4 cups nonfat plain yogurt, whisked until smooth
   ___ cup heavy cream
   ___ cup fresh lemon juice or lime juice
   _ 1/2 salt, or to taste
   _ to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
   _ tablespoon ground dried fenugreek leaves
   _ tablespoon Garam Masala
   _ tablespoon ground paprika
   ___ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
   ___ teaspoon freshly ground mace
   _ to 4 cups canned chicken broth, reduced fat, low-sodium preferred
   _ tablespoons all-purpose flour
   Salt and ground black pepper, to taste


1. Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey. Making sure the skin does not tear, run your fingers gently between the skin and the flesh of the turkey, starting at the neck cavity and moving towards the breast, tail and drumsticks. The idea is to loosen the skin and create a pocket.

2. In a food processor, process together the cashews, ginger, garlic, green chili peppers, cilantro, and mint leaves until minced. Add the yogurt, cream, lemon juice, and salt, and process to make a smooth paste. Transfer to a bowl.

3. Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook the fenugreek leaves, garam masala, paprika, nutmeg, and mace, stirring, about 30 seconds, then mix the spices and oil into the bowl with the yogurt mixture.

4. Remove 1/4 cup of the marinade to a bowl and cover and refrigerate for the gravy. Divide the remaining marinade into 3 portions. Rub one portion under the loosened turkey skin and rub the second portion over the skin and inside the cavity. Reserve the remaining portion in the refrigerator for basting the turkey as it cooks. Fold the wings across the back and tie them together with heavy kitchen string, then tie the ends of the drumsticks together and insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, making sure it does not touch the bone. Cover the turkey securely with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 12 and up to 36 hours.

5. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the turkey, breast side up, in a large roasting pan. Baste once with the reserved marinade and roast, uncovered, basting every 35 to 45 minutes until the turkey is well-browned and a meat thermometer reads 180°F, 4 1/2 to 5 hours. (If the skin browns too fast, cover it with a piece of oil-basted muslin or tent loosely with heavy-duty aluminum foil.) Remove from the oven and allow the turkey to stand about 15 minutes before carving.

6. Meanwhile, make the gravy. Pour the pan juices through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl and then, with a spoon, skim off all the extra fat that floats to the top. Put about 2 tablespoons of the fat into a medium nonstick saucepan.

7. Add about 1 cup chicken broth to the roasting pan and bring to a gentle simmer over low heat, stirring and scraping any browned bits. Pass through a fine-mesh strainer into the bowl with the pan juices.

8. Mix the flour into the reserved turkey fat and cook, stirring, over medium heat until very fragrant and golden, about 3 minutes. Mix in the reserved marinade and cook until it is completely incorporated, about 1 minute. Add the remaining broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the gravy is thick, about 5 minutes. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl and serve with the turkey.
