To make marinade: Place all ingredients in a nonreactive bowl. Whisk with a wire whisk until ingredients are incorporated well - the marinade should have a smooth and creamy consistency.

Clean turkey well and pat dry. Place each turkey in a baking pan.
Stuff cavity with lemon rinds and fresh herbs. A poultry mix is fine, usually consisting of rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley and oregano.
Pour marinade over turkey. Add cracked pepper and remaining herbs to the top of each turkey.
Place an oven thermometer in each turkey and cover with aluminum foil. Place on the lower rack of the oven. Bake for 2 1/2 hours, then remove the aluminum foil. Baste with a basting bulb. Keep basting often, ever 15 minutes until the thermometer reads 185°.
