  4. Next, pat the turkey dry with a paper towel then stuff the turkey with the peeled citrus fruit, garlic cloves, ginger and scallions. Using kitchen twine, tie the legs together.
  5. Coat the turkey with the grapeseed oil then season evenly with salt and pepper. Use your hands to massage the turkey and evenly distribute the seasonings. 
  6. Put the roasting pan in the oven and set a timer for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, lower the heat to 350°F. 
  7. Roast for 1 hour then coat the turkey with the Ty Ling Hoisin Sauce using a pastry brush.
