Glenn Lindgren: The secret to a great turkey? Start with a good, premium brand turkey. You can increase the amount of sofrito in this recipe to handle just about any size bird.
Raúl Musibay: And if you ever go to Sweden, be sure to try some of that delicious Swedish Cuban food!
Make a sofrito by putting some oil in a pan and sautéing the parsley, garlic, onion, and green pepper briefly. Add some of the tomato juice and let cook on low heat for five minutes. In a food processor, mix the rest of the crushed tomatoes with the ham and add the sofrito.
Clean the turkey as you wish, but leave the skin on. With a spoon insert the mixture under the skin, leaving some for the inside of the turkey.
Cook in oven at 325º F approximately 45 minutes for every two pounds. If you use a thermometer it should show 180º F. It will be a juicy and tender turkey!
