Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

Prosciutto butter
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
6 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts
1 1/2 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons crushed black peppercorns
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt
9 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
Gravy base
Neck, heart, and gizzard reserved from one 16- to 18-pound turkey
3 large shallots, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 cup dry white wine
1 large fresh thyme sprig
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
4 cups low-salt chicken broth
Turkey
1 16- to 18-pound turkey
1 onion, quartered
3 garlic cloves, peeled, halved
5 large fresh thyme sprigs
2 large fresh summer savory sprigs
1 tablespoon crushed black peppercorns
5 cups (about) low-salt chicken broth
1/4 cup all purpose flour

Steps:

  • For prosciutto butter:
  • Place butter in large bowl. Mix in hazelnuts, vinegar, thyme, crushed pepper, garlic, and salt. Mix in prosciutto and green onions.
  • For gravy base:
  • Melt 2 tablespoons prosciutto butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add neck, heart, gizzard, shallots, and bay leaf; sauté until brown, about 20 minutes. Add wine, thyme, and rosemary; boil until liquid is reduced almost to glaze, about 3 minutes. Add 4 cups broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until giblets and neck are tender, about 1 hour. Discard bay leaf and thyme sprig. Transfer neck and giblets to work surface. Chop enough giblets to measure 1 cup. Remove meat from neck and chop. Combine neck meat and chopped giblets in bowl with broth from pot. (Prosciutto butter and gravy base can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill butter; bring to room temperature before using. Chill gravy base until cold, then cover and keep chilled.)
  • For turkey:
  • Set rack at lowest position in oven and preheat to 325°F. Rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry. Starting at neck end, slide hand between skin and breast, thigh, and leg meat to loosen skin. Set aside 1/4 cup prosciutto butter for gravy. Spread 1 cup prosciutto butter over turkey meat under skin. Spread 1 cup prosciutto butter over outside of turkey. Sprinkle turkey inside and out with salt and pepper; place on rack set in large roasting pan. Place onion and next 4 ingredients in main turkey cavity. Tuck wing tips under; tie legs together loosely.
  • Roast turkey uncovered 1 1/2 hours. Tent turkey with foil; add 2 cups broth to pan. Roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 175°F, occasionally basting with pan drippings and adding more broth to pan, about 2 hours longer. Transfer to platter; tent with foil. Let stand 30 minutes (internal temperature will increase 5 to 10 degrees).
  • Strain pan juices into 8-cup measuring cup; spoon fat off top. Add reserved gravy base. Add enough chicken broth to mixture to measure 5 cups total. Melt reserved 1/4 cup prosciutto butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add flour; whisk 1 minute. Gradually add pan-juice mixture, whisking constantly. Boil, whisking frequently, until gravy is very slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve turkey with gravy.

ROAST TURKEY WITH PROSCIUTTO, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC



Roast Turkey With Prosciutto, Rosemary and Garlic image

Every Thanksgiving, we've tried a different turkey recipe. This is a good one that we have tried. A mixture of prosciutto, rosemary and plenty of garlic rubbed under the skin of the turkey gives it a distinctively delicious taste. True garlic lovers can squeeze some of the pan-roasted garlic into the gravy for even more flavor. Begin the meal with an appetizer of chilled shrimp with lemon and dill, and offer a radicchio salad as a first course. Pour a Chianti Classico Riserva. From Bon Appetit, December 1995.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 turkey breast tenderloin steaks, about 1 1/2 pounds
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste

3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to high.

Turn the steaks and top each with one slice of prosciutto. Sprinkle evenly with rosemary and cover closely. Cook about 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Thaw the turkey properly: Allow enough time for the turkey to thaw completely in the refrigerator before cooking. Rushing the thawing process can lead to uneven cooking and potential food safety hazards.
  • Choose the right size turkey: A general rule of thumb is to allow 1 pound of turkey per person. This will ensure you have enough to feed your guests without leftovers.
  • Prepare the turkey cavity: Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey cavity and pat the inside dry. This will help the seasonings penetrate the meat and ensure even cooking.
  • Season the turkey generously: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to season the turkey inside and out. This will enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Use a roasting pan with a rack: This will allow the turkey to cook evenly and prevent it from sitting in its own juices.
  • Roast the turkey at a high temperature initially: This will help to brown the skin and seal in the juices. Then, reduce the temperature to finish cooking the turkey.
  • Baste the turkey regularly: This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, without touching the bone. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the turkey rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.

Conclusion:

This roast turkey with hazelnut-prosciutto crust is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of savory prosciutto, crunchy hazelnuts, and aromatic herbs creates a unique and flavorful crust that complements the tender and juicy turkey meat. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create a truly memorable meal that will delight your guests.
