Pavochon Puerto Rican Thanksgiving Turkey

Got this recipe from my husband.

The day before cooking:.

Sprinkle your turkey with adobo , inside and out and all around.

Mix together the crushed garlic , pepper , and oregano and rub all over the turkey , so it will acquire a really good taste.

Place the turkey in the refrigerator until cooking.

Do not stuff the turkey yet.

The day you are going to cook the turkey: start by turning the oven on to 325.

If using stuffing , stuff the turkey with your stuffing.

Place the turkey on a foil lined baking dish.

Coat the turkey with vegetable oil or if you prefer , it can be butter.

Cover the whole turkey with aluminum foil and put it in the heated oven.

Baste the turkey from to time with the juices in the pan.

Cook the turkey as follows: if your turkey is 4 to 6 pounds , cook for about 3 to 3 hours.

If your turkey is 6 to 8 pounds , cook for about 3 to 4 hours.

If your turkey is 8 to 12 pounds , cook for about 4 to 5 hours.
