1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
For the marinade:
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup pisco (Peruvian brandy)
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Start by preparing the marinade. In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, pisco, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Clean and pat dry the turkey. Place it in a large roasting pan and pour the marinade over it, making sure to coat the bird evenly.
Cover and refrigerate the turkey for at least 24 hours, turning it over once or twice to ensure it marinates evenly.
When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add in the onion, garlic, ají panca paste, cumin, and oregano, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the turkey from the marinade and stuff the cavity with the ground beef mixture.
Place the turkey in the roasting pan and pour the remaining marinade over it.
Cover the turkey with foil and roast for about 3 hours, basting occasionally with the marinade.
Remove the foil and continue roasting for an additional hour, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving and serving.
