Yield Makes 1 turkey

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2- to 5-pound turkey
Oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika
1 to 2 garlic cloves
Butter (optional)
1 cup white wine (optional)
1/2 cup Japanese soy sauce (optional)
3 cloves garlic finely chopped (optional)
1/4 cup oil olive oil (optional)
1 tablespoon Tabasco (optional)

Steps:

  • Only very young, fresh-killed turkeys weighing from 3 1/2 to 5 pounds broil successfully. Split the turkey and remove the breastbone and backbone. Rub well with oil, salt, pepper and paprika. A clove or two of garlic, finely chopped, may be rubbed into the skin and along the bone of the bird. This gives the turkey a delicious flavor.
  • Adjust the broiling pan about 4 to 5 inches from the heat and boil the turkey, bone side to the heat, for approximately 25 minutes, basting occasionally with a little melted butter. Turn at the end of 25 minutes, brush with butter or olive oil, and broil until nicely browned and cooked through, about 18 to 25 minutes more. Be careful not to overcook, or the white meat will be dry and uninteresting.
  • Serve the broiled turkey with matchstick potatoes and a good salad. Drink a Beaujolais such as Juliénas.
  • Variation: Marinate the turkey in one cup white wine, 1/2 cup Japanese soy sauce, 3 cloves garlic finely chopped, 1/4 cup olive oil and one tablespoon Tabasco. Turn the turkey several times during the marinating period. Broil as directed and baste with marinating liquid. Serve with fried rice and tiny cooked green beans with crisp, crumbled bacon and onion.

Tips:

  • Thaw the turkey properly: Place the frozen turkey in the refrigerator for 1-2 days per 4-5 pounds of turkey. For faster thawing, submerge the wrapped turkey in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes until thawed.
  • Choose the right roasting pan: Select a roasting pan that is large enough to accommodate the turkey comfortably, allowing for at least 2 inches of space around the turkey.
  • Prepare the turkey: Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey cavity. Rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water and pat dry.
  • Season the turkey: Generously season the turkey inside and out with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add a compound butter or herb mixture under the skin for extra flavor.
  • Baste the turkey regularly: Basting the turkey with its own juices or a mixture of melted butter, oil, and herbs helps keep the turkey moist and flavorful. Baste the turkey every 30-45 minutes during roasting.
  • Roast the turkey to the proper temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the turkey is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F in the breast and 175°F in the thigh. Let the turkey rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
