Amp up your Thanksgiving turkey with this tasty marinade, but keep it handy year-round because it can also be used to marinate steak, fish and chicken.

Ingredients

Step 1

Place garlic, bouillon and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until a paste forms. Transfer to a medium bowl; stir in olive oil, melted tangerine bars, vinegar and oregano.

Step 2

Place turkey in a roasting pan.

Separate turkey skin from the meat carefully with two fingers. Add rub between skin and meat. Any leftover rub can be poured over turkey, making sure it covers turkey evenly. Cover with foil; refrigerate overnight to marinate.

Remove turkey from refrigerator 1 hour prior to roasting.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 400° F.
