Directions
1Thaw turkey according to package instructions. Reserve neck and giblets for stock.
2Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
3In a medium saucepan over medium heat, prepare marinade by adding olive oil, garlic, ginger, peppercorns and sauté for 1 – 2 minutes until fragrant. Add sea salt, sugar, orange juice and cider and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cool.
4Place thawed turkey in a roasting pan with a bottom rack. Pour marinade over turkey and season the outside and cavity of turkey with salt and cracked black pepper. Place turkey in oven and roast for 30 minutes.
5Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Remove turkey from oven and baste with juices from bottom of pan.
6Cover turkey and pan loosely with foil. Continue roasting (basting every 20 minutes) for another 2 1/2-3 1/2 hours until a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh reads 170°F (77°C) for an unstuffed turkey; 180°F (82°C) for a stuffed turkey; the leg moves easily when twisted and the juices run clear. To brown the turkey, remove foil in the last 1/2 hour of roasting.

A bread stuffing made with fresh thyme, onions, garlic or a rice stuffing made with orange juice, raisins, onions would be excellent with this turkey.
