This aromatic Tandoori turkey offers a vibrant twist on the traditional roast, replacing standard herbs with a complex blend of toasted spices, ginger, and lime. By marinating the bird in a spiced yoghurt mixture overnight, the meat stays incredibly succulent while developing a deep, charred flavour that is typical of Indian North-West Frontier cuisine. The use of a roasting bag ensures the turkey steams in its own fragrant juices, resulting in a tender finish that pairs beautifully with the reduced, savoury gravy.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe relies on bold spices rather than sugary glazes or heavy fats to provide maximum satisfaction. It is an excellent choice for a healthy festive centrepiece or a Sunday lunch, offering a high-protein, low-carb alternative to classic roasts. Serving the turkey with a heap of roasted cauliflower or a crisp green salad keeps the meal light yet deeply comforting for any occasion.

How to make Tandoori Turkey
Toast spices in a skillet over medium heat, swirling often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool. Working in batches, finely grind mixture in a spice mill. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 month ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
Toast spices in a skillet over medium heat, swirling often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool. Working in batches, finely grind mixture in a spice mill. Sift through a medium-mesh strainer into a small bowl; stir to combine. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 month ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
Pat turkey dry with paper towels. Rub inside and out with salt; transfer to roasting bag. Stuff turkey with cardamom pods and cumin seeds, then onion, celery, and garlic.
Purée all ingredients in a blender. Pour marinade into roasting bag. Smear all over turkey. Tie bag and arrange turkey, breast side down, in a large heavy roasting pan. Refrigerate overnight.
Let turkey stand in bag at room temperature for 1 hour. Turn breast side up. Create steam holes in bag if required by manufacturer's instructions.
Preheat oven to 204°C. Roast turkey for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 177°C. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh (puncturing bag with thermometer) registers 160°, about 1 1/2 hours longer. Cut top of bag open, being careful of steam and juices, and pull back over turkey. Roast turkey until breast is deeply browned but not burned and a thermometer inserted into thigh registers 74°C, 15-30 minutes longer.
Transfer to a platter. Let rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
Meanwhile, strain juices into a large saucepan. Spoon fat from surface. Simmer over medium heat until sauce is reduced to 850ml , about 20 minutes.
Carve turkey. Serve with accompanying gravy.
