Spicy Turkey Dutch Oven Recipe

  • 1 9-12 lb turkey hen
  • 1/2 Tbsp Cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 Tbsp Paprika
  • 1/2 Tbsp Tbsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp Pepper Zest of
  • 1 Lemon Juice of
  • 1 Lemon A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 4-5 Green onions, chopped, up into the green
  • 2 tsp Cumin Oil, to make a paste

Directions: Preheat and oil your 14″ Deep Dutch Oven. 11-14 coals below 20-25 coals above Start by thawing the turkey. When you opened up the package drain it so it will be as dry as possible. You can even pat it with a paper towel to get it dry. Take a small bowl and mixed in all of the ingredients. The amounts I listed here are approximate. I just grabbed them and mixed together. I poked some holes in the skin, and then smeared the paste all over the top surface. I also spritzed some oil over the top of it all. Then I put the turkey in the dutch oven put the lid on and started cooking. You will have to replace the briquets half way through. Just place one beside one that is going and you are off and cooking again. Try not to lift the lid because each time you do it takes 15 minutes to get back to cooking. Remember when you see the steam coming out from under the lid it is done. You will smell it before you see steam come out from under the lid. Thanks Mike for the recipe!!
