Provided by Sarah Watson

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Whole Turkey Recipes

Time 6h45m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons rubbed sage
2 teaspoons salt
1 pinch dried thyme
1 (16 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
¼ cup butter
⅓ cup orange juice
⅓ cup orange marmalade
1 ½ teaspoons honey
1 orange, peeled, sectioned, and cut into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Combine sage, salt, and thyme in a small bowl. Rub half of the sage mixture all over the turkey, then place the turkey in a large roasting pan. Set remaining sage mixture aside. Bring butter, orange juice, orange marmalade, honey, and orange sections to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until thickened, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the remaining sage mixture. Brush the turkey with the glaze.

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.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

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.

3-INGREDIENT THANKSGIVING TURKEY WITH ORANGE AND SAGE



3-Ingredient Thanksgiving Turkey with Orange and Sage image

Spatchcocking the turkey before roasting ensures that all parts of the bird will cook evenly at the same rate-and in just 1 1/2 hours.

Provided by Anna Stockwell

Categories     Thanksgiving     3-Ingredient Recipes     turkey     Sage     Orange     Roast     Dinner

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 navel oranges
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped sage, plus 4 sprigs
1 (12-14-pound) turkey, neck and giblets removed
Olive oil (for brushing)

Steps:

  • Finely grate 1 orange to yield 1 Tbsp. zest; transfer to a small bowl. Slice oranges into 1/2"-thick rounds; transfer to a resealable plastic bag and chill until ready to use. Add salt, pepper, and chopped sage to zest and stir to combine.
  • Place turkey, breast side down, on a large cutting board. Cut along each side of backbone with kitchen shears-this will take some force (you can ask your butcher to do this). Discard backbone or reserve for another use.
  • With turkey skin side down, use a knife to score down the long oblong bone in center of breast. Turn turkey skin side up, then firmly press down with both hands on breastbone until you hear a cracking sound. Rub zest mixture all over turkey, under skin, and inside cavity. Transfer turkey skin side up to a rimmed baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and chill 6-18 hours.
  • Arrange a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 450°F. Tuck sage sprigs and reserved orange slices in an even layer under turkey. Let sit at room temperature 30-60 minutes to air dry.
  • Brush turkey with oil, add 1/2 cup water to pan, and roast 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Rotate pan, add 1/2 cup water to pan, and brush turkey with more oil. Continue to roast, brushing with oil after 30 minutes, until skin is deep golden brown and crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast right against breastbone registers 160°F, 55-65 minutes more.
  • Transfer turkey to clean cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest at least 30 minutes before carving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey. For the best flavor and texture, choose a fresh, free-range turkey. If you're using a frozen turkey, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Brine the turkey. Brining helps to keep the turkey moist and flavorful. You can brine the turkey in a simple solution of water, salt, and sugar, or you can use a more flavorful brine that includes herbs, spices, and citrus.
  • Roast the turkey at a high temperature initially, then reduce the heat. This will help to create a crispy skin and a juicy interior.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the turkey is cooked through. The internal temperature of the turkey should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the thickest part of the breast.
  • Let the turkey rest before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.

Conclusion:

Turkey with orange sauce is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your turkey is cooked to perfection and that your orange sauce is flavorful and tangy. So next time you're looking for a special meal to impress your friends and family, give this recipe a try.
