90 g butter
4 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
Salt and pepper
Preparing:
Melt butter with garlic, thyme, salt and pepper.
Cover the turkey with butter.
Mix the apple with celery and season.
Fill the turkey with the previous mixture and arrange the legs so that the stuffing does not get out.

Ingredients:
1 turkey, precooked
3 cups cooked rice
1 ¼ cups brown sugar
1 cup toasted almonds
1 cup raisins
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
2/3 cup soy sauce
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
3 tbsp ketchup
3 tbsp mustard
2 tbsp oil
½ tsp salt
Pepper and paprika, to taste
Preparing:
Rub the turkey well with salt and wash well.
Cover the turkey with water, salt and sugar.
Remove the turkey from the water and season with garlic, mustard and ketchup.
Crystallize the onion, pepper and almonds in oil and season with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat, add the rice, raisins and cream and let cool.
Fill the turkey with the rice and place on a greased baking tray.
Place brown sugar in a pan and let it begin to get liquid.
Add soy sauce and chicken broth and allow melting the sugar again.

Ingredients:
1 whole turkey, washed
1 cup brandy or sherry
1 cup wine
½ cup Chinese five-spice powder
1 stick margarine or butter
3 tbsp salt
Preparing:
Blend brandy or sherry, red wine and five Chinese spices.
Inject the turkey with the previous mixture all over.
Let stand for 2 hours in the refrigerator uncovered (this way the skin dry and when cooking gives a crisper skin).
Preheat oven to 100ºC (200ºF).
Rub the turkey with margarine, place on a baking sheet and cover with foil.
Bake for 2 to 3 hours.
Tips:
• To inject properly, the needle should get to the bone, and as it is injected, the needle is pulled back.
• To see if the turkey is ready, introduce a thermometer into the thigh area that touches the breast and verify that the temperature is 70ºC (160ºF).
