Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

Mushroom Butter:
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms*
1 cup boiling water
4 garlic cloves, peeled
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Turkey:
1 14- to 16-pound turkey, rinsed, patted dry inside and out; neck, heart, and gizzard reserved for Shortcut Turkey Stock
10 fresh Italian parsley sprigs
6 fresh rosemary sprigs
6 fresh thyme sprigs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups Shortcut Turkey Stock or water
Gravy:
1 pound crimini mushrooms, sliced
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped shallot
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups Shortcut Turkey Stock
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons water
5 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • For mushroom butter:
  • Place porcini in small bowl; add 1 cup boiling water. Let stand until softened, at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. Drain mushrooms, reserving soaking liquid. Chop mushrooms. Transfer half of chopped mushrooms (about 1/3 cup) to small bowl; reserve for gravy.
  • Chop garlic finely in processor. Add butter and next 6 ingredients, then remaining porcini. Blend to coarse paste. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Transfer to bowl. Cover and chill mushroom butter, reserved chopped porcini, and mushroom liquid separately. TRUE GRIT: When using the porcini soaking liquid, pour it off slowly so that any grit or sediment at the bottom remains in the bowl.
  • *Dried porcini are available at supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and Italian markets.
  • For turkey:
  • Set rack at lowest position in oven and preheat to 325°F. Sprinkle main turkey cavity with salt and pepper. Spread with 2 tablespoons mushroom butter. Starting at neck end of turkey, carefully slide hand between skin and meat of breast, thighs, and upper drumsticks to loosen skin. Spread mushroom butter over thighs and drumsticks, then over breast meat under skin. Fill main cavity with herb sprigs. Tie legs together loosely to hold shape. Tuck wing tips under.
  • Place turkey on rack set in large roasting pan. Rub outside of turkey all over with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour 2 cups stock into pan. Roast turkey until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F to 170°F, about 3 hours. Tilt turkey so juices from main cavity run into pan. Transfer turkey to platter. Tent very loosely with foil; let rest at least 30 minutes (internal temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees). Reserve pan.
  • For gravy:
  • Scrape juices and browned bits from reserved roasting pan into large glass measuring cup. Spoon off fat, reserving 3 tablespoons.
  • Heat reserved 3 tablespoons fat in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add crimini mushrooms, garlic, and shallot. Sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to bowl and set aside. Add wine to skillet. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 3 minutes. Add reserved 1/3 cup chopped porcini mushrooms, reserved mushroom soaking liquid (leaving any sediment behind), 2 cups stock, and degreased pan juices. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer to reduce slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Add cream and crimini mushrooms to skillet. Mix 2 tablespoons water and cornstarch in small bowl until smooth. Whisk into gravy. Continue to simmer until reduced to desired consistency, whisking occasionally, about 5 minutes. Mix in parsley and mint. Season gravy to taste with salt and pepper.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 12- to 14-pound turkey, thawed if frozen
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 onion, quartered
1 head garlic (6 cloves whole, remaining cloves smashed)
4 sprigs rosemary, plus 3 tablespoons chopped leaves
2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms (about 2 cups)
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

Pat the turkey dry with paper towels and rub inside and out with 1 tablespoon each salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the onion, smashed garlic and rosemary sprigs.

Time 5h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 turkey necks
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
⅓ cup Marsala wine
2 quarts cold water
1 bay leaf
2 garlic cloves
¼ ounce dried porcini mushrooms
¼ ounce dried porcini mushrooms
1 cup hot water
¼ cup butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons heavy cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Brown turkey necks in hot oil, about 6 minutes per side. Add the onion, celery, and carrots; cook until the vegetables begin to soften and brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour in the Marsala wine, and scrape and dissolve any browned meat and vegetable bits off the bottom of the pan. Raise heat to high; cook until liquid is reduced by half.
  • Stir in 2 quarts of cold water, bay leaf, garlic cloves, and 1/4 ounce dried porcini mushrooms. Bring to a simmer, and turn heat to low.

  • In a bowl, cover 1/4 ounce dried porcini with 1 cup hot water; allow to rehydrate for 10 minutes. Remove mushrooms from water, and chop fine.

CLASSIC MUSHROOM GRAVY



Classic Mushroom Gravy image

The chopped fresh mushrooms in this gravy provide the texture of giblets.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups Brown Turkey Stock
1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 package (10 ounces) white mushrooms, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch dice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Madeira or sherry

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring stock to a low boil over medium heat; cook until reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place porcini in a small bowl, and cover with boiling water. Let soak until porcini are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove porcini, and gently squeeze out excess water; finely chop. Set aside.
  • Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until foamy. Add white mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Add reserved porcini. Cook, stirring, until white mushrooms are soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour over mushroom mixture, and cook until flour starts to brown, a few minutes more. Add wine; deglaze pan, scraping up browned bits on bottom and sides with a wooden spoon.
  • Stir stock into mushroom mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer over very low heat, and cook until thickened slightly, about 30 minutes. If gravy thickens too much, thin with a little water or stock. Season with salt and pepper; serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use fresh porcini mushrooms for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh porcini mushrooms, you can use dried porcini mushrooms. Just be sure to rehydrate them before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the turkey. If you overcrowd the pan, the turkey will not brown properly.
  • Cook the turkey until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • Make sure to deglaze the pan with white wine before making the gravy. This will help to dissolve any browned bits and add flavor to the gravy.
  • Simmer the gravy for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Porcini mushroom turkey with mushroom gravy is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The porcini mushrooms add a rich, earthy flavor to the turkey, and the mushroom gravy is the perfect complement. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
