Categories     main-dish

Time 5h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (17-pound) whole fresh turkey, rinsed well and patted dry
1 1/4 stick unsalted butter, slightly softened
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 large stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large onions, quartered
8 cups homemade chicken stock, divided, plus more if needed for gravy
Turkey neck
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup white wine
4 cups sage-infused stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage

Steps:

  • For the turkey: Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 1 hour before roasting.
  • Combine the butter, sage, rosemary, thyme, and parsley in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Season the cavity of the turkey with salt and pepper and fill the cavity with half of the carrots, celery, and onion. Rub the entire turkey with herb butter and season liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Put 4 cups of the chicken stock in a medium saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
  • Place the remaining vegetables on the bottom of a large roasting pan. Put the turkey on top of the vegetables, put in the oven, and roast in the oven until lightly golden brown, 45 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue roasting, basting with the warm chicken stock every 15 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh registers 160 degrees F, about 2 to 2 1/4 hours longer. Remove the turkey from the oven, transfer to baking sheet and tent loosely with foil, and let rest 20 minutes before slicing.
  • For the sage gravy:
  • Strain the cooking liquid from the roasting pan into a medium saucepan (should be about 4 cups, if not, add more stock to make 4 cups). Add the neck, bring to a boil, add the sage leaves, remove from the heat, and let steep for 15 minutes. Remove the sage leaves.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until reduced. Whisk in the stock and cook until thickened and smooth, about 5 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper and chopped sage.

SLICED TURKEY BREASTS WITH HERBS



Sliced Turkey Breasts With Herbs image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 sliced turkey breast tenderloin steaks, about 1 1/2 pounds total
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 whole garlic cloves unpeeled
1 large bay leaf
4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup fresh chicken broth or canned
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Place each turkey breast steak between sheets of clear plastic wrap and pound lightly and evenly with a meat pounder or flat mallet to make the slices about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Sprinkle the sliced turkey with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the turkey in one layer, or use two smaller pans. Add the sliced turkey and the garlic, bay leaf and thyme. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, turning the pieces until lightly browned on both sides. Do not overcook.
  • Remove the turkey slices to a warm platter. Leave the garlic, bay leaf and thyme in the pan. Add the wine to the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet. Cook until it is reduced by half. Add the chicken broth and boil briskly until reduced by half.
  • Swirl in the remaining butter and the parsley. Add the turkey slices and any juices that have accumulated around it, and reheat the turkey through. Remove bay leaf, and serve with the garlic cloves and the sauce.

MAPLE-GLAZED ROAST TURKEY WITH MIXED-HERB GRAVY



Maple-Glazed Roast Turkey with Mixed-Herb Gravy image

Yield Serves 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

Gravy
1/2 cup all purpose flour
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, cut into pieces
5 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
Turkey
1 14- to 15-pound turkey
6 cups Herbed Bread, Cracker and Leek Dressing
2 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
3 1/2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons minced mixed fresh herbs (such as parsley, sage, savory and/or thyme)

Steps:

  • For gravy:
  • Toast flour in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until pale golden (about the color of peanuts), stirring constantly, about 7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Add butter and whisk until butter melts and mixture is smooth (mixture will become very dark). Gradually whisk in broth. Bring to boil over medium heat, whisking frequently. Reduce heat; simmer until gravy is reduced to 21/2 cups, about 30 minutes. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • For turkey:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Rinse turkey inside and out; discard any pieces of fat in neck and main cavity. Pat turkey dry with paper towels. Fill neck cavity loosely with bread dressing. Fold skin over and secure with skewer. Fill main cavity loosely with bread dressing. Place turkey on rack in large roasting pan. Tie turkey legs together to hold shape. Tuck wings under turkey. Brush turkey with 11/2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper. Pour 1/2 cup broth into roasting pan.
  • Roast turkey 3 hours, basting with pan juices and adding 1/2 cup broth to pan every 30 minutes. Mix maple syrup, ginger and 1 tablespoon melted butter in small bowl; brush mixture over turkey. Continue to roast turkey until thermometer inserted into innermost part of thigh registers 180°F, about 15 minutes longer.
  • Transfer turkey to platter. Tent with foil and let turkey stand 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, scrape pan juices and any browned bits from roasting pan into 2-cup measuring cup. Spoon off and discard fat from surface of juices. Add juices to gravy. Add herbs and bring to simmer. Season gravy with salt and pepper.
  • Serve turkey with dressing and gravy.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your turkey is cooked perfectly.
  • Choose the Right Turkey: Select a fresh or frozen turkey that is the right size for your needs. A general rule of thumb is to allow 1 pound of turkey per person.
  • Thaw the Turkey Properly: If you are using a frozen turkey, thaw it in the refrigerator for several days or in a cold water bath for a few hours. Never thaw a turkey at room temperature, as this can promote bacterial growth.
  • Brine the Turkey: Brining the turkey helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar, or you can get creative and add other ingredients like herbs, spices, and citrus fruits.
  • Roast the Turkey at a Low Temperature: This will help to prevent the turkey from drying out. Roast the turkey at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 13-15 minutes per pound for an unstuffed turkey, or 15-17 minutes per pound for a stuffed turkey.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: The best way to ensure that your turkey is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, making sure not to touch any bones. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the Turkey Rest: After you remove the turkey from the oven, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.

Conclusion:

Herb-glazed turkey slices are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for many occasions. Whether you are hosting a holiday dinner or simply looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, this recipe is sure to please.
