Step 1

Mix all ingredients together and make sure all of the sugar and salt are dissolved. Place bird into brining vessel and pour brine mixture on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. **Please make sure the whole bird is submerged in brine.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl place scallion, carrots and scotch bonnets, drizzle 2 tablespoons of canola oil and coat ingredients well. Prepare a sheet tray with parchment paper and spread ingredients evenly on the tray. Roast in the oven until ingredients are charred but not burnt for about 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before roughly chopping and placing in a food processor with remaining ingredients. Puree ingredients until they form a thick paste like consistency. Remove turkey from brine and pat dry with paper really well. Rub the jerk paste all over the turkey including the wing tips, turkey neck and the cavity under the skin to marinate for a minimum 24 hours.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and place the bird in a roasting pan with a grate to elevate it from the base of the pan. This allows for the juices to gather and eventually to pour off these juices and use for basting the bird. Cover the bird with foil and set your timers. Your bird will roughly take between 4 - 4 ½ hours depending on your home oven if you have a convection option on the stove. You are seeking an internal temperature of 170 degrees, juices running clear. Every hour baste your turkey by using a baster or spooning the jerk juices collected in the roasting pan back onto the turkey. 30 minutes before the bird is fully cooked (internal temperature of 155-160 degrees), remove the foil carefully without tearing the skin from the bird. Crank the oven up to 425 degrees to roast the bird and to seal in the caramelization and juicy meat. Enjoy that Jerk Turkey!
