Rosemary Roasted Turkey image

Perching a turkey on top of onions makes for a tender and flavorful bird. The onions will cook down and caramelize in the pan drippings-if you like, you can serve them alongside the carved turkey, and spread the roasted garlic on bread or rolls. The pairing of white wine and rosemary creates a mouthwatering gravy. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Time 4h

Yield 14 servings (2-1/2 cups gravy).

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 whole garlic bulbs
6 large onions, halved
5 fresh rosemary sprigs
1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds)
2 cups white wine
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut tops off of garlic bulbs. Place the garlic, onions and rosemary sprigs in a shallow roasting pan. Pat turkey dry. Tuck wings under turkey; tie drumsticks together. Place breast side up over onion mixture. Pour wine into pan., Brush turkey with oil and sprinkle with rosemary, salt and pepper. Bake, uncovered, at 325° until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°, 3-1/2 to 4 hours, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes before slicing., For gravy, strain drippings into a small bowl. In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add drippings. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 2 minutes. Serve with turkey.

I'm allergic to rosemary, so I had to substitute another herb. The turkey still turned out great.

I followed the recipe carefully, but my turkey didn't taste very good. I think I might have used the wrong kind of rosemary.
