  • 1/4 cup Sambal chili paste
  • 1 tbsp Nanami Togarashi
  • 2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp Ground black pepper, plus more as needed

Instructions

  1. Remove neck and all organs from turkey cavity (discard or save and use for gravy). Rinse turkey under cold water and pat dry before seasoning.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together Sambal Oelek Chili Paste, Nanami Togarashi, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  3. Liberally rub paste onto all parts of turkey as well as inside cavity and under skin, if desired. Cover with plastic wrap then refrigerate at least 24 hours.
  4. Preheat oven to 450ºF. Place turkey in a roasting pan, truss turkey legs as needed. Place pan into oven and cook 25 minutes.
  5. Turn heat down to 325ºF. Cover or tent turkey with foil, return to oven and roast approximately 2 hours or internal temperature reaches at least 150ºF.
  6. Remove foil from turkey. Continue to cook until internal temperature of thigh and breast reads at least 165ºF. Turkey should be golden brown.
  7. Remove turkey from oven when desired temperature is hit, allow to rest for at least 25 minutes. Carve and serve. Season to taste as needed and garnish with green onions if desired.
  8. Chef's Note: Plan on cooking turkey 13 to 15 minutes per pound, depending on size and oven temperature.
