ROAST TURKEY WITH GIBLET GRAVY



Roast Turkey with Giblet Gravy image

Provided by James Peterson

Categories     turkey     Roast     Thanksgiving     Dinner     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 12 main-course servings with leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 turkey with giblets, about 20 pounds, at room temperature
Salt
Pepper
Butter
3 tablespoons flour
3 cups chicken broth, or as needed

Steps:

  • Season the turkey on the outside with salt and pepper, and place it, breast side up, in a heavy roasting pan just large enough to accommodate it. Arrange the liver, neck, and gizzard around the turkey. (The giblets are often in a little package hidden in the neck end of the bird.) Fold a sheet of aluminum foil to create a triple thickness, making it just large enough to cover the breast. Rub butter evenly on one side of the folded foil, then place it, buttered side down, over the breast.
  • Slide the bird into the oven and turn on the oven to 350°F (there is no need to preheat). Roast for about 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue to roast the turkey for about 1 1/2 hours longer, or until a thermometer inserted into the space between the thigh and the breast without touching bone reads 140°F. Transfer the turkey to a platter, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest in a warm spot for at least 20 minutes before carving.
  • To make the gravy, remove the liver, gizzard, and neck from the roasting pan. Remove the meat from the neck and discard the bones. Place the neck meat, gizzard, and liver in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Do not process to a paste. Set the giblets aside.
  • Check the juices in the roasting pan. If you have a lot of juices, transfer them to a glass pitcher, skim off the fat with a ladle, and return 3 tablespoons of the fat to the pan. If you have very few juices, place the pan on the stove top, boil down the juices until they caramelize on the bottom of the pan and separate from the fat, and pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat. Add the flour to the fat in the pan over medium heat and stir together for 1 minute to cook the flour and form a roux. If you have degreased juices, add broth to the measuring pitcher to total 3 cups. Gradually stir in the broth or broth-juices mixture and continue to stir over medium to medium-high heat until the roux and the caramelized juices dissolve into the gravy and the gravy is smooth and has thickened to a nice consistency. Add the ground giblets, stir well, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the gravy into a warmed sauceboat.
  • Carve the bird and serve with the gravy.

ROAST TURKEY WITH JUS, GRAVY, OR GIBLET GRAVY



Roast Turkey with Jus, Gravy, or Giblet Gravy image

Provided by James Peterson

Categories     Poultry     turkey     Roast     Thanksgiving     Fall

Yield 6 servings of gravy or jus

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 roast turkey, giblets roasted in the pan with the turkey
3 tablespoons flour (for gravy) (45 milliliters)
2 cups turkey or chicken broth or water (as needed if there are insufficient juices) (500 milliliters)
3 ounces cold butter, sliced (optional) (90 grams)
salt and pepper to taste to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Transfer the turkey to a platter and pour any juices that have accumulated in the cavity into the roasting pan.
  • 2. Chop the giblets until quite fine but not into a purée.
  • 3. If the pan is swimming in juices, pour all the juices into a glass pitcher and skim off and discard the fat with a ladle. If you're making gravy, put 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) of the fat back in the roasting pan.
  • 4. If there are less than 2 cups (500 milliliters) of juices in the roasting pan, put the pan on the stove over high heat. Move the pan around every couple of minutes so it's heated evenly. Continue in this way until a brown crust forms on the bottom of the pan and the only liquid in the pan is a layer of shiny liquid fat. Pour out the fat; if you're making gravy, leave 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) of the fat in the pan.
  • 5. If you're making gravy, add 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) of flour to the fat in the pan and stir over medium heat until it smells toasty, about 3 minutes. Whether making a jus or gravy, add the broth and bring to a simmer. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to dissolve the juices. Stir in the giblets. Whisk in the butter, if using. Season with salt and pepper.

GIBLET GRAVY (FOR ROAST TURKEY)



Giblet Gravy (For Roast Turkey) image

When I make a roasted turkey, this is how I make my giblet gravy. There is never enough giblets when you only use the giblets from the turkey, so here is my WONDERFUL and EASY recipe. If you have a large turkey, you may want to double this recipe. Any left over gravy can be frozen for future use. NOTE: The person who wrote a bad review must have done something wrong or did not include the turkey drippings. Please disregard that review and try this gravy for yourself. If you have any questions, e-mail me: [email protected]

Time 45m

Yield 1 large pot

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (48 ounce) can turkey gravy (NOT CAMPBELL'S)
1 (1 lb) container chicken liver
3/4 cup turkey drippings

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, pour in the chicken livers with their juice. A container is approximately 1 lb.
  • Sautè the livers, turning them, until they are done.
  • Allow to slightly cool, and cut the livers into small, but not too small, pieces.

ROAST YOUNG TURKEY WITH GIBLET GRAVY



Roast Young Turkey With Giblet Gravy image

Provided by Craig Claiborne With Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 4h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 11- to 12-pound turkey
1 large lemon
1 small apple, about 3 ounces, cored and stem removed
1 cup parsley, coarsely chopped and loosely packed
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
4 bay leaves, broken into quarters
10 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried, finely chopped
1/4 cup corn, peanut or vegetable oil
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
12 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
10 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons water
3 cups turkey broth made with turkey neck and wing tips, or use an equal amount of fresh or canned chicken broth
1 turkey heart
1 turkey gizzard
1 finely chopped hard-cooked egg

Steps:

  • Cut off the wing tips of the turkey. Set aside for broth or soup.
  • Cut the lemon lengthwise in half and cut each half crosswise into quarter-inch-thick slices. Cut the apple lengthwise in half. Cut each half crosswise into quarter-inch-thick slices.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the lemon, apple, parsley, onion, bay leaves, thyme and oil and blend well.
  • Sprinkle the turkey inside and out with salt and a generous grinding of pepper.
  • Fill the cavity of the turkey with the lemon and apple mixture. Flex the thighs and wing joints of the turkey. Truss or tie the turkey with string.
  • Blend four tablespoons of the butter and four tablespoons of the flour with the fingers.
  • Rub the turkey all over with the butter-flour mixture, massaging it thoroughly for several minutes.
  • Sprinkle the bottom of a shallow roasting pan with the remaining six tablespoons of flour. Place a rack inside the pan and arrange the turkey breast-side up on the rack. Let the turkey sit outside the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Place the turkey in the oven and roast 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining eight tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan and stir in the water. Baste the turkey with the melted butter mixture. Reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees and continue roasting the turkey, basting often with the butter mixture, for about one hour and 40 minutes. Remove the turkey and let rest for 20 minutes before carving.
  • Bring the turkey or chicken broth to the boil and add the turkey heart and gizzard. Let simmer 10 minutes. Strain, reserving both the broth and giblets. Finely chop the giblets and set aside. Set the strained broth aside.
  • As the turkey rests, skim off the semi-clear liquid from the drippings in the pan, leaving the browned flour and the particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan intact. Place the pan on top of the stove and add the reserved turkey or chicken broth. Scrape all around to dissolve the browned particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan.
  • Strain the broth into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Let simmer, skimming the surface as necessary, about 10 minutes. Add the chopped giblets and the chopped egg. Slice the turkey and serve with the gravy on the side.

PERFECT ROAST TURKEY AND GRAVY



Perfect Roast Turkey and Gravy image

Provided by James Briscione

Categories     main-dish

Time 14h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 fresh turkey (12 to 14 pounds)
4 tablespoons Dry Brine, recipe follows
2 onions
8 to 10 branches fresh woody herbs (combination of sage, rosemary or thyme)
2 heads garlic, halved crosswise
1 cup chopped carrot
1 cup chopped celery
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus 2 tablespoons, cut into pieces
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup dry white wine
1 quart chicken stock
Ground black pepper
1 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground fennel seed
2 teaspoons ground sage

Steps:

  • Twelve to 24 hours before cooking the turkey, remove the giblets and dry the turkey inside and out with paper towels. Rub the Dry Brine on all sides of the turkey, completely seasoning the exterior as well as the interior cavity. Place the turkey in a pan inside the refrigerator overnight.
  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • When ready to cook, remove the turkey from the refrigerator and pat dry with paper towels. Cut one of the onions into quarters. Place the onion quarters, herbs and one head of the garlic inside the turkey. Tie the legs together with a single piece of string and tuck the wings under the body.
  • Chop the remaining onion. Combine the chopped onion, carrots, celery and remaining garlic in a large roasting pan. Place the turkey on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan.
  • Brush the entire surface of the turkey with the melted butter and sprinkle lightly with salt. Pour any remaining melted butter over the vegetables in the base of the pan. Place the turkey in the oven to roast on the center rack with the legs towards the back wall of the oven.
  • After 45 minutes, remove the turkey from the oven and set on the stovetop. Carefully tilt the pan to one side and use a ladle to baste the butter over the breast of the turkey. Return the turkey to the oven, this time with the breast toward the back wall of the oven. Continue basting and rotating the turkey every 45 minutes until done. The turkey is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F, 2 1/2 to 3 hours total. If at any point during the cooking the skin of the breast becomes too dark, cover the breast with aluminum foil and continue cooking to doneness.
  • When the turkey is done, remove to a cooling rack to rest for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • To make the gravy, place the roasting pan on the stovetop. Turn the heat beneath the roasting pan to medium. Cook the vegetables, stirring constantly, until the butter remaining in the pan is translucent, up to 6 minutes. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the butter, if necessary. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until a thick paste forms. Pour in the wine, stirring well and scraping the bottom of the pan to release any brown bits that remain stuck to the pan. Add the chicken stock and continue stirring until the stock reaches a simmer. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until flavorful and thickened to your liking.
  • Transfer the entire gravy mixture to a saucepot and bring back to a simmer. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper and strain the gravy into a serving container. Serve with the carved turkey.
  • Combine the salt, sugar, garlic powder, pepper, fennel and sage in an airtight container and shake to thoroughly combine. Keeps for up to 6 months.

ROAST TURKEY WITH CORN BREAD STUFFING AND GIBLET GRAVY



Roast Turkey With Corn Bread Stuffing and Giblet Gravy image

A flavorful turkey prepared in an interesting way. It is soaked in brine, which helps tenderize the bird, and then rubbed with a citrus-thyme butter. The butter keeps the turkey moist and also enriches the pan drippings for the gravy. The stuffing borrows from the long tradition of corn breads in America. Be sure to make the Giblet Broth before you start roasting the turkey. From Bon Appétit, November 1996. The cooking time is for roasting the turkey since everything else can be prepared during the same time frame.

Tips for Making the Perfect Roast Turkey

  • Choose a fresh, high-quality turkey. A good turkey will have a plump breast and smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid turkeys that are frozen or have been previously frozen.
  • Thaw the turkey properly. If your turkey is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator for 24 hours per 4-5 pounds of turkey. You can also thaw the turkey in a sink filled with cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes. Do not thaw the turkey at room temperature.
  • Season the turkey inside and out. Use your favorite seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs. Be sure to season the cavity of the turkey as well.
  • Roast the turkey at a high temperature for the first 30 minutes, then reduce the heat. This will help to brown the skin of the turkey and prevent it from drying out. Baste the turkey with butter or oil every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
  • 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

Roast turkey is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a perfect roast turkey that will be the star of your table. So next time you're hosting a special dinner, don't be afraid to give roast turkey a try. You won't be disappointed!
