Ingredients

3 tablespoons Terra Sol Cascabel Paste (or see recipe)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 10-pound turkey

Instructions

Heat the oil and saute the garlic until softened. Remove from the heat and add the oregano, salt, paste and pepper.

Split the turkey in half by cutting in through the breast and backbone. Brush the chile oil over the turkey and marinate for a couple of hours at room temperature.

Place the turkey sections, breast side up, on a grill in a smoker and smoke with indirect heat over an aromatic wood such as pecan, apple, or hickory. Baste the turkey with the oil every half hour until the turkey sections are done, approximately 4 hours.

 

Cascabel Paste
30 cascabel chiles, stemmed
1 1/3 cups cider vinegar
2 tablespoons mined onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic

For a milder purée, rub chiles between your palms to remove most of the seeds.  Toast chiles on a cast iron or steel comal until hot and aromatic (don't allow to burn). Chop chiles coarsely with a knife or in a food processor. Put them in a bowl and pour the vinegar over. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Add onion and garlic to the chiles and either cover the bowl with plastic and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, or put them in a saucepan over medium-high heat, cover, and simmer for 3 minutes.

Let cool slightly, then purée in a blender until very smooth. Let cool.

Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
