Step 1
Rinse turkey with a mixture of water and lemon, and pat dry with a paper towel. Let turkey sit in the roasting pan while you prepare the seasoning.
Step 2
In a food processor or blender, mix the cilantro, garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, sazón, salt, and lemon juice.
Step 3
Rub mixture all over your turkey, both outside and inside the turkey cavity.
Step 4
Stuff the turkey with celery, carrots, and onions. Place some celery, carrot, and onion pieces in the roasting pan around the turkey. This step is optional.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 430°F. Place turkey in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes.
Step 6
After the 30 minutes have passed, lower the oven temperature to 350°F and cover the turkey with aluminum foil. Continue to bake until the turkey reaches a temperature of 165°F, about 3 hours for a 12-pound turkey.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
