JEROME GRANT’S
PASILLA CHILE–RUBBED
TURKEY
ACTIVE: 30 min l TOTAL: 4½ hr l SERVES: 10
2 to 3 heads garlic, tops trimmed
6 dried pasilla chile peppers
2 vine-ripened tomatoes, quartered
2 onions (1 chopped, 1 quartered)
1 cup agave nectar
Kosher salt
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 12-pound organic turkey, patted dry
(neck and giblets removed)
½ cup chopped carrots
½ cup chopped celery
Chicken stock or water, as needed
1.Preheat the oven to 400 ̊. Wrap the garlic in
foil and roast on a baking sheet until tender, about
40 minutes. Let cool, then unwrap and squeeze
out 20 garlic cloves onto a plate (reserve the rest
for another use). Reduce the oven temperature
to 350 ̊.
2.Place the pasilla chiles on a baking sheet. Roast
until fragrant and a bit softened, about 4 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl, cover with water and soak
until further softened, 10 to 15 minutes; drain.
Discard the stems, then seed the chiles, if desired.
3.Transfer the chiles to a blender with the garlic,
tomatoes, chopped onions, agave, 3 tablespoons
salt, the olive oil and mustard; puree. Transfer to a
bowl; fold in the cilantro.
4.Spread the chile paste all over the turkey.
Loosen the skin on the breast and drumsticks;
spread some paste underneath.
5.Put the turkey breast-side up in a roasting pan;
stuff the quartered onion, carrots and celery in
the cavity, then tie the legs together with twine.
Roast, basting with the pan juices and rotating
the pan halfway through, until a thermometer
inserted into the breast registers 165 ̊, about
3 hours. Tent with foil if the turkey gets too dark;
add some stock or water to the pan to keep the
drippings from burning. Let rest 30 minutes
before carving.
