Ingredients
 1 Farm Turkey from Auvergne
 60 Olive oil
 3 cloves Garlic
 100 Pitted prunes
 200 Pitted Kalamata olives
 70 Nuts
 1 Orange zest
 3 Oregano
 800 Chicken broth
 Salt
 Pepper
Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2

In a food processor, blend the garlic, prunes, olives, oregano, walnuts, orange zest, and 40 ml of olive oil. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.

3

On a work surface, place the turkey. Gently lift the skin of the turkey at the breast area with your fingers and stuff it with the preparation, massaging gently to spread it all under the skin.

4

Stuff the inside of the turkey with any remaining mixture. Tie the legs of the turkey with kitchen twine. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the turkey, then season with salt and pepper.

5

In a baking dish, place the slices of red onion, then place the turkey on top. Pour the orange juice over the turkey. Pour in the chicken broth.

6

Roast in the oven at 180°C for 2h30 depending on the size of the bird. Do not hesitate to baste the turkey very regularly (every 20 minutes) with the cooking juices.

7

10 minutes before the end of cooking, add a few dried plums (10).

8

To finish, once cooked, let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes in the oven. Serve with homemade potato gratin or homemade mashed potatoes.
