Chimichurri Turkey

I spent some time in San Diego in another lifetime and stayed with a woman from Argentina. Her mom came for Thanksgiving and smeared chimichurri over our turkey before cooking it. That was the most flavourful turkey I had ever eaten! I'm going to recreate that bird for our Christmas this year.
