Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 3h20m

Yield 1 15 lb turkey, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons ground dried rosemary
2 tablespoons rubbed dried sage
2 tablespoons dried thyme leaves
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 (15 lb) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 orange, cut into wedges
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (750 ml) bottle champagne

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Line a turkey roaster with long sheets of aluminum foil that will be long enough to wrap over the turkey.
  • Stir together the parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, lemon pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Rub the herb mixture into the cavity of the turkey, then stuff with the celery, orange, onion, and carrot.
  • Truss if desired, and place the turkey into the roasting pan.
  • Pour the chicken broth and champagne over the turkey, making sure to get some champagne in the cavity.
  • Bring the aluminum foil over the top of the turkey, and seal. Try to keep the foil from touching the skin of the turkey breast or legs.
  • Bake the turkey in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear.
  • Uncover the turkey, and continue baking until the skin turns golden brown, 30 minutes to 1 hour longer.
  • An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).
  • Remove the turkey from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Overall, this is a good recipe. The turkey was moist and flavorful. However, I found the instructions to be a little unclear in some places.

This turkey was a little too salty for my taste. I would reduce the amount of salt in the marinade next time.
