Rub salt all over the turkey’s skin and inside the cavity. Stuff the turkey cavity with half of the ginger, garlic, scallions, and oranges. 2) Add the rest of your aromatics and the water to the bottom of a large turkey roasting pan, place the turkey on top of a rack, cover it with foil, and steam for 3 hours. 3) Remove the turkey, take the aromatics out of it, and allow it to rest and come to room temperature for about 2 hours. Equipment * Turkey pan * Roasting rack * Cutting board * Knife Step 2: Make the sauce Ingredients * 3 Tbsp vegetable oil * 2 cup honey * Zest and juice of 4 oranges * Juice of 1 lemon * 2 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar * ½ cup soy sauce * ¼ cup sriracha * 4 Tbsp minced ginger * 8 minced cloves garlic * 2 Tbsp sesame oil * 6 Tbsp water * 4 Tbsp cornstarch 1) Heat vegetable oil in a large sauce pot on medium heat. Add in ginger and garlic and sweat until translucent, about 3 minutes. 2) Add in all the rest of your ingredients, except for the cornstarch and water, and cook on high heat for about 10 minutes. 3) Whisk together cornstarch and water, then add it to the sauce and stir, continuing to cook for another 2 minutes until thick and syrupy.
