Ingredients

• 4 lemons, juiced
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic, or to taste
• 3 tablespoons salt-free herb seasoning blend
• 0.5 cup soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and mustard.

Step 3

Stir in chives, sage, oregano, parsley, thyme, garlic, paprika, and herb seasoning. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend before marinating your favorite meat.

Step 4

Place turkey or chicken in a 30 gallon plastic kitchen bag. Pour marinade over the bird. Grasp the bag a few inches above the poultry, and press air from the bag. Seal with a twist tie. Rotate bag to coat turkey with the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator 24 hours, repositioning the bag every 4 hours, or so.

Step 5

Remove poultry from bag before roasting, and transfer marinade to a saucepan. Boil marinade for a few minutes, then use to baste the turkey every 30 minutes, or so, while roasting. Discard any remaining marinade when turkey is done.
