Citrus and Herb Turkey
INGREDIENTS
1 Whole Turkey, rinsed, empty, and patted dry
2 Tbls Coarse Salt
1 Tsp Black Pepper
1 Orange, sliced
1 Lemon, sliced
1 Lime, sliced
1 Yellow Onion, sliced
1 Head Garlic, separated, peeled and smashed
6 Sprigs Thyme
2 Sprigs Sage
1 Tbl Olive Oil
2 Cups Chicken Broth or Stock
1 Cup Chicken Broth or Stock
½ Cup White Wine
2 Tbls Cornstarch
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 450F
Place rack in lower position
1 Large Roasting Pan with Lid
In a large bowl add half of the salt and pepper, all of
the citrus slices, garlic cloves and herbs and mix well together. Use this mixture
to stuff into the cavity, tuck the wings under the bird, tie legs with twine
and transfer turkey to a rack set inside a roasting pan. Rub the skin with
olive oil and season with remaining salt and pepper.
Pour 2 cups of the broth into the roasting pan and
transfer to the preheated oven and immediately turn the temperature down to
350F. Set the timer for 13 minutes of cooking time for each pound of turkey. After
first hour of roasting, baste turkey every 30 minutes with the juices from the
pan, and cover the pan or tent with foil if skin becomes deep golden brown
before turkey is cooked.
The internal temperature should reach 180°F. To check for
doneness without a thermometer, pierce the thigh and pay attention to the
juices; if the juices run clear, it's cooked, and if the juices are reddish
pink, it needs more time. Remove turkey from oven and transfer to a carving
board. Let stand at least 15 minutes.
Pour the pan drippings through a fine strainer and into a
pot and add the remaining cup of chicken broth. Set the heat to medium-high and
bring to a gentle boil. In a small bowl make slurry with the wine and cornstarch,
using a fork to break up any lumps, and slowly pour the slurry into the broth
while whisking gently. Turn the heat down to medium and continue whisking constantly,
until gravy thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
NOTE: Always read labels carefully
