Cooking Tips

• Make sure to let the turkey rest before carving to allow the juices to redistribute and keep the meat moist.
• For extra flavor, you can marinate the turkey overnight in the spice mixture.
• If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mixture.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover turkey can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
• To serve, reheat the turkey in the oven at 325°F (163°C) until warmed through.
• The avocado-grapefruit relish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Just make sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
