Best 4 Garlic Rosemary Turkey Recipes

TURKEY BREAST ROULADE WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and fennel seeds and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Off the heat, stir in the chopped sage and the rosemary; set aside to cool.
• Set the turkey breast on a cutting board and open it up, skin side down. If necessary, pound the turkey to an even thickness of about 1 inch. Sprinkle the turkey with 4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Once the onion mixture has cooled, spread it evenly on the meat. Grate the butter and sprinkle it on top. Arrange the prosciutto on top to totally cover the filling and meat.
• Starting at one long end of the turkey breast, roll the meat up jelly-roll style to make a compact cylindrical roulade, ending with the seam side down. Tie the roulade tightly with kitchen twine at 2 to 2 1/2-inch intervals to ensure that it will roast evenly. Slip the whole sage leaves under the twine down the center of the roulade.
• Place the roulade, seam side down, in a roasting pan and pat the skin dry with paper towels. Brush the skin with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the wine and 1 cup water into the roasting pan, surrounding the turkey with the liquids without pouring them directly over the roulade. Roast for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature is 150 degrees.
• Remove from the oven, cover the turkey with foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the string, slice the roulade crosswise in 1/2-inch-thick slices, and serve warm with the pan juices.

ROASTED TURKEY WITH GARLIC, ROSEMARY AND ROASTED LEMON WITH CREMINI MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• For the turkey: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting.
• Rub the cut side of 2 halves of garlic over the entire turkey, and then put in the cavity. Brush the entire turkey with 4 tablespoons of the butter and sprinkle with the rosemary, salt and pepper (including in the cavity). Put 2 lemon halves into the cavity.
• Put the shallots, carrots, celery and remaining garlic and lemon halves in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place a roasting rack in the pan and place the turkey on the rack. Add 2 cups of the stock to the bottom of the pan and place in the oven. Put the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and 4 cups stock in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Keep covered and warm.
• Roast the turkey for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and continue roasting, basting with the warm stock every 20 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the breast registers 155 degrees F and into the thigh registers 160 degrees F, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove the turkey to a cutting board, loosely tent with foil and let rest at least 20 minutes before carving.
• Strain the juices into a bowl through a strainer. Let the fat rise to the top of the stock and remove 1/4 cup of the fat. Reserve the fat to make the gravy. Reserve the strained juices for the gravy.
• For the gravy: Heat the reserved fat in the roasting pan (used to roast the turkey) over high heat over 2 burners. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown and the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook until pale golden brown. Whisk in the red and white wine and cook until evaporated. Add the reserved roasting liquid and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add the rosemary sprigs and cook until the gravy thickens, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• Carve the turkey and serve with the cremini mushroom gravy.
