Step 1

Clean turkey, 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 a blender, mix together the cilantro, garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, sazón, salt, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Rub the mixture all over your turkey, both outside and inside the turkey cavity.

Step 4

Stuff the turkey with celery, carrots, and onion. 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 15 minutes before carving.
