ROAST TURKEY WITH ORANGE AND SAGE



Roast Turkey With Orange and Sage image

Roast turkey with white wine and a lot of butter, too, as it happens. The butter, massaged under the bird's skin, does a lot to help keep the breast meat moist, and the juice and wine in the pan below the bird create a deliciously steamy environment for the roasting. The combination leads to an interesting outcome: a bird that crisps up nicely not at the beginning of cooking, but at the end. The sweet-savory drippings make for excellent gravy.

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 12- to 14-pound turkey, giblets removed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
Zest of 1 orange
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1/2 of a 750-milliliter bottle dry white wine
2 cups orange juice
10 to 12 fresh sage leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pat turkey dry with paper towel and place it on a rack in a roasting pan. In a small bowl or on a clean cutting board, mash the butter together with the orange zest, sage, garlic, salt and pepper to create a paste. Lift the turkey's skin at the neck and gently use your hand to separate skin from breast meat. Rub about half of the compound butter under the skin, covering the breast meat. Rub the rest of the butter over the skin of the turkey and season with a little more salt and pepper.
  • Fold the wings of the turkey under the bird, and tie its legs together with butcher's twine. Pour the wine and orange juice into the roasting pan, scatter the sage leaves over the liquid and carefully slide the pan into the oven.
  • Roast for about 2 to 3 hours, basting bird every 30 minutes with drippings. Start checking the bird 1 hour and 45 minutes into cooking, and tent it with foil if skin is turning too dark. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh without touching bone registers 165 degrees. Transfer to a cutting board or platter and allow to rest at least 30 minutes before carving.

Roast Turkey with Oranges, Bay Leaves, Red Onions, and Pan Gravy image

Categories     Poultry     turkey     Roast     Thanksgiving     Orange     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For turkey
1 (12- to 14-lb) turkey (preferably kosher), any quills removed if necessary and neck and giblets (excluding liver) reserved for making stock
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 navel oranges, each cut into 8 wedges
3 small red onions, each cut into 8 wedges
5 bay leaves (not California)
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
For gravy
Pan juices from roast turkey
About 4 cups turkey stock (page 198)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Garnish: 4 roasted onions, each cut into 8 wedges (optional); fresh bay leaves (do not eat)
Special Equipment
small metal skewers or wooden toothpicks; kitchen string

Steps:

  • Roast turkey:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry. Sprinkle turkey inside and out with salt and pepper, then fold neck skin under body and secure with small skewer. Stuff large cavity with oranges, 1 onion, and bay leaves. Tie drumsticks together with kitchen string and secure wings to body with small skewers.
  • Put turkey on a rack set in a large flameproof roasting pan and roast in middle of oven 30 minutes.
  • While turkey is roasting, toss remaining 2 onions with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Brush remaining 1/4 cup butter over turkey and roast 30 minutes more. Baste turkey and scatter buttered onion wedges around it, then roast, basting turkey every 30 minutes (add a little water to pan if onions get too dark) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into fleshy part of a thigh (do not touch bone) registers 170°F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more (total roasting time: 2 1/2 to 3 hours). Transfer turkey to a platter (do not clean roasting pan) and let stand 25 minutes (temperature will rise to 180°F).
  • Make gravy:
  • Transfer pan juices with onions to a 2-quart glass measure, then skim off and reserve 1/4 cup fat. Add enough turkey stock to pan juices to make 4 1/2 cups total. Set roasting pan across 2 burners, then add 1 cup stock mixture and deglaze pan by boiling over moderately high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Add remaining stock mixture and bring to a simmer. Pour stock through a fine sieve back into glass measure and discard onions.
  • Whisk together reserved fat and flour in a large heavy saucepan and cook roux over moderately low heat, whisking, 3 minutes. Add hot stock mixture in a fast stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, then simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in any additional turkey juices accumulated on platter and season gravy with salt and pepper.
  • Serve turkey with gravy on the side.

SUNNY'S BUTTERFLIED ROAST TURKEY WITH EASY ORANGE SPICE RUB



Sunny's Butterflied Roast Turkey with Easy Orange Spice Rub image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 14h15m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 bunch fresh sage
1 orange, halved
One 10- to 14-pound turkey
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cold, cut into small dice
Olive oil, for drizzling
3 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons hot Hungarian paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
Zest of 1 orange
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
3 tablespoons honey
Juice of 1 orange
Orange slices
Fresh sage sprigs
Fresh thyme sprigs

Steps:

  • For the brine: Combine the salt, peppercorns, thyme, sage, orange and 1 1/2 gallons water in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the salt is dissolved and the water is fragrant. Turn off the heat and let cool completely.
  • For the turkey: To brine the turkey, place the turkey in a roasting bag, large plastic bag or bowl large enough to fit it with still more space for the brine. Pour in the brining liquid and seal or cover. If there's not enough room for all of the liquid in the brine, be sure to at least include the herbs, orange and peppercorns. Refrigerate at least overnight and up to 3 days.
  • When ready to cook, remove the turkey from the brine and discard all of the brining liquid and solids. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
  • To butterfly the turkey, using kitchen shears or a knife, cut out the backbone of the turkey. Break the breastbone to open up and flatten the bird by gently pressing down with the skin-side up. Flip over and pat dry. Using your finger, gently release the skin from the muscle of the turkey and insert the butter pieces between the skin and meat all over the bird.
  • For the rub: In a medium bowl, mix together the cumin, paprika, chili powder, orange zest, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the rub in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Drizzle the turkey with olive oil and sprinkle with the rub. Gently rub into the skin. Place the turkey cavity-side down on a rack in a roasting pan and allow to sit on the countertop for about 2 hours to come to room temperature.
  • For the glaze: To the reserved 1 tablespoon of rub, stir in the honey and orange juice until smooth. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add 1 to 2 inches of water to the bottom of the roasting pan. Place the turkey in the oven, lower the heat to 350 degrees F and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the turkey from the oven and brush the glaze over the skin. Return to the oven and continue to roast, glazing every 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh reads 160 degrees F, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Let the turkey rest at room temperature before carving, tented with aluminum foil, until it comes up to 165 degrees F, about 30 minutes. Plate the turkey and garnish with orange slices and sage and thyme sprigs.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 4h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 12- to 14-pound turkey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 sprigs fresh rosemary
8 sprigs fresh thyme
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 pounds cranberries
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 heaping tablespoon chipotles in adobo
Finely grated zest and juice of 2 oranges
1 to 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pat the turkey dry and tuck in the wings. Rub the turkey inside and out with 2 tablespoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stuff the cavity with 5 sprigs each of the rosemary and thyme. Tie the legs together and place the turkey breast-up in a roasting pan with a rack. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of the butter. Stir in the onion, garlic and the remaining 3 sprigs each rosemary and thyme. Cook until the onions are softened, 6 minutes. Add the cranberries, sugar, vinegar, chipotles, orange zest and juice and 1 teaspoon salt. Simmer until the cranberries start to burst, 8 minutes. Strain. Reserve half for serving.
  • Heat the remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments until melted. Brush the melted butter all over the turkey. Pour 1 cup of the broth into the roasting pan. Roast for 2 hours, basting with the drippings every 30 minutes after the first hour. Add more broth if the pan looks dry.
  • After 2 hours of roasting, brush the turkey with the cranberry-orange glaze every 20 minutes until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165 degrees F, about 1 hour more, tenting with foil when the turkey reaches the desired darkness.
  • Transfer the turkey to a carving board and let rest 30 minutes before carving. Serve with the reserved glaze.

ORANGE & TARRAGON ROAST TURKEY



Orange & tarragon roast turkey image

Roasting your Christmas turkey with a flavoured butter locks in moisture for a zesty, juicy finish ready to garnish with trimmings

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Main course

Time 4h25m

Yield Serves 8 with leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 8

5-5.5kg/11-12lb turkey , rinsed and dried
100g butter , softened
1 orange
15g pack tarragon , 2 tbsp finely chopped, rest tied in a bunch with string
2 garlic cloves , crushed
1 onion , quartered
150ml dry white wine
sage or tarragon sprigs, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a roasting tin with a very generous length of double-thickness foil. Weigh the turkey to calculate the cooking time, allowing 40 mins per kg for the first 4kg, then 50 mins for every kg over that weight (a turkey this size should take 3½-4 hrs).
  • Put the butter in a bowl and finely grate the zest from the orange on top. Add the chopped tarragon, garlic and seasoning and mix well. You can make this 3 days ahead.
  • Gently push your fingers under the turkey skin, starting from the neck end of the bird, easing the skin away from the breast and the top of the drumsticks. Now spread the flavoured butter under the skin, taking care not to tear it. You won't be able to reach all the way down to the drumsticks, but you can ease the butter along by smoothing it through the skin. Quarter the orange and tuck into the turkey cavity with the onion and the bunch of tarragon (step-by-step). You can do this the night before.
  • Season the turkey with salt and pepper, then lift it onto the foil-lined roasting tin. Pour the wine into the cavity of the turkey, then bring up the sides of the foil and cover the top of the bird with a layer of foil. Roast according to your calculated time.
  • Thirty mins before the end of cooking time, remove the foil from the top of the turkey and add the potatoes to the oven.
  • To test if the turkey is cooked, pierce the fattest part of the thigh with a skewer - the juices that run out should be clear, not pink. If they are pink, continue to roast, checking at 10-min intervals.
  • Remove the turkey, transfer to a warm serving platter and let it rest, covered loosely with the foil, for 30-40 mins before carving. Meanwhile, turn up the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook the potatoes for 30 mins more, with the stuffing and sausages. Serve the turkey decorated with herbs.

BAY & ORANGE ROAST TURKEY



Bay & orange roast turkey image

Brushing the turkey with a last-minute sticky glaze means your bird will be golden and looking its best when you bring it to the table

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 5h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4.5kg-6kg turkey
200g butter , softened
4 oranges , 2 zested and juiced
450g stuffing (see 'Goes well with')
bunch bay leaves
250g shallot , unpeeled and thickly sliced
850ml chicken stock
50g golden caster sugar
4 tbsp flour
1 tsp Marmite

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Remove giblets, then wash and dry the turkey, removing any remaining feathers. Mix half the butter with the orange zest and plenty of seasoning. Lift up the skin at the neck end of the turkey and use your fingers to ease the skin away from the breasts. Gently smear some of the zesty butter over the breasts and under the skin. Pack the stuffing into the neck opening and secure the skin closed with skewers or cocktail sticks. Weigh the turkey at this point and write it down so you can work out your timings, then rub the rest of the zesty butter all over.
  • Stuff the 2 whole oranges into the cavity with some bay leaves. Pile the sliced shallots and a few more bay leaves into a large roasting tin and sit the turkey on top. Pour 500ml of the stock around, cover with foil to make a tent over the turkey, then roast for 20 mins per 450g/1lb.
  • Meanwhile, bubble the remaining butter, orange juice and sugar together until syrupy. With 30 mins cooking time to go, remove the foil, brush the turkey liberally with the syrup, then return to the oven to brown at 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush once or twice more while roasting. To test that the turkey is ready, pierce the thigh in its thickest part and make sure the juices run clear. Lift the turkey out, brush again with syrup and leave to rest, covered loosely with foil, for 20 mins or so while you make the gravy and finish cooking the veg.
  • Pour the tin juices into a jug (keeping shallots and bay in the tin), then put the roasting tin over a flame. Stir in the flour, then gradually stir in the remaining stock Marmite and reserved turkey juices - skimmed of any fat. Bubble until a nice consistency, then strain into a saucepan, squishing the shallots with a masher to squeeze out all the flavour. Keep the gravy warm while you carve the turkey to serve.

SLOW-ROASTED HERITAGE TURKEY WITH ORANGE AND SAGE



Slow-Roasted Heritage Turkey with Orange and Sage image

Heritage turkeys have more dark meat and a gamier, richer flavor than broad-breasted factory birds; try one this holiday with a slow-roasted recipe from Canlis chef Jason Franey. For a complete meal, pair with his Sausage and Sage Un-Stuffing and Cranberry-Orange Jam.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (14-pound) turkey, such as Wishard Bronze
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 navel oranges, washed
1 bunch fresh sage
3 cups (6 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Steps:

  • One day before roasting turkey, salt cavity. Prick oranges all over with the tines of a fork and stuff inside turkey cavity along with sage. Using a 3-foot-long piece of kitchen twine, loop in half over the neck and pull under the back, crossing twine. Pull twine between legs and breasts and flip bird over; tie drumsticks together tightly. Place turkey on a rimmed baking sheet, breast side up, and refrigerate uncovered overnight.
  • Heat butter in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat until melted and bubbling. Skim foam from top and let butter continue to cook until the milk solids sink to the bottom and begin to brown and become fragrant, about 30 minutes. Set a fine mesh sieve lined with a coffee liner over a metal container and strain butter into container. Let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use. Reheat browned butter before using.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Fit a roasting pan with a rack and transfer turkey to rack; season with salt and pepper. Let stand 15 minutes.
  • Brush turkey with some of the browned butter and transfer to oven. Roast, rotating every hour and brushing with browned butter, for 2 hours.
  • Using an instant-read thermometer, check temperature of turkey by inserting into the largest part of the thigh. Continue cooking turkey until it reaches 140 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 1 to 1 1/2 hours more. Remove turkey from oven and let stand 30 minutes; increase oven temperature to 475 degrees.
  • Drain fat from roasting pan and clean rack. Place turkey on clean rack and return to oven. Cook, turning frequently, until skin is browned and crispy, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 20 minutes before carving. Serve.

Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 Serving

Tips:

  • Thaw the turkey thoroughly before cooking. This will help ensure that it cooks evenly throughout.
  • Use a roasting pan that is large enough to accommodate the turkey. A too-small pan will cause the turkey to cook unevenly and may result in a burnt bird.
  • Place the turkey breast-side up in the roasting pan. This will help the breast meat cook more evenly.
  • Season the turkey generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, and garlic, to taste.
  • Roast the turkey at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 13-15 minutes per pound. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the turkey has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird.

Conclusion:

Roasted turkey a l'orange is a classic dish that is perfect for any special occasion. With its crispy skin, juicy meat, and flavorful orange sauce, this dish is sure to impress your guests. By following these tips, you can create a delicious roasted turkey that will be the star of the show.
