TURKEY WITH STUFFING



Turkey with Stuffing image

Don't relegate a stuffed bird to Thanksgiving only; this turkey recipe, which roasts over a bed of parsnips, onion, celery, carrots, celeriac, and white turnip, is delicious year-round.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 fresh whole turkey (20 pounds), giblets (the heart, gizzard, and liver) and neck removed from cavity, rinsed with cool water, and dried with paper towels
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) plus 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, at room temperature
1 bottle dry white wine
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
1 parsnip, peeled and quartered
1 onion, peeled and quartered
2 stalks celery, cut into 4-inch pieces
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 4-inch pieces
1 small head celeriac (about 1 pound), peeled and quartered
1 white turnip, peeled and cut into small wedges
Stuffing

Steps:

  • Remove turkey from refrigerator and let stand for 2 hours at room temperature.
  • Place rack on lowest level in oven. Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and white wine. Fold a large piece of cheesecloth into quarters; cut it into a 17-inch, four-layer square. Immerse cheesecloth in the butter-and-wine mixture, and let soak.
  • Working on a large piece of parchment paper, fold wing tips under turkey. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper inside turkey. Fill large cavity and neck cavity loosely with as much stuffing as they hold comfortably -- do not pack tightly. (Cook remaining stuffing in a buttered baking dish for 45 minutes at 375 degrees.) Fold neck flap under, and secure with toothpicks. Tie legs together loosely with kitchen string (a bow is easy to undo later; it is not necessary to make a tight knot). Rub turkey all over with the softened butter.
  • In a heavy, metal roasting pan (sides should be 2 to 3 inches high), place parsnip, onion, celery, carrots, celeriac, and white turnip. Place roasting rack on top of vegetables, then place turkey, breast side up, on roasting rack. Sprinkle turkey with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper.
  • Lift cheesecloth out of liquid, and gently squeeze it, leaving it very damp. Spread folded square of cheesecloth evenly over breast and about halfway down sides of turkey; it can cover some of leg area. Place turkey, legs first, in oven. Cook for 30 minutes. Using a pastry brush, baste cheesecloth and all exposed parts of turkey with butter-and-wine mixture. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Cook 2 1/2 more hours, basting with pastry brush every 30 minutes and watching the pan juices; if pan is getting too full, spoon out juices so level remains below the rack.
  • After this third hour of cooking, remove and discard cheesecloth. Turn roasting pan so the breast faces back of oven. Baste turkey with juices that have collected in bottom of pan. If there are not enough juices, continue to use the butter-and-wine mixture. The skin gets fragile as it browns, so baste carefully, particularly over the breast. Cook another hour, basting every 30 minutes. If some areas of the bird start getting too brown, cover those areas loosely with aluminum foil.
  • After fourth hour of cooking, insert an instant-read thermometer into thickest part of thigh. Do not poke into a bone. The thermometer should reach at least 180 degrees and the turkey should be golden brown. The breast does not need to be checked for temperature. If turkey is not golden brown or the thigh meat does not register 180 degrees, baste turkey, return to oven, and cook another 20 to 30 minutes. Insert the instant-read thermometer into the center of the stuffing. Temperature should read from 140 degrees to 160 degrees.
  • When fully cooked, transfer the turkey to a serving platter, and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Make gravy using the vegetables while the turkey rests.

ROAST TURKEY WITH OLD FASHIONED BREAD STUFFING



Roast Turkey with Old Fashioned Bread Stuffing image

I used this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens for my first year of making Thanksgiving dinner. Judging by the results, no one knew that I hadn't cooked this meal a million times before. The turkey was perfectly moist and the stuffing was incredible! If serving a large crowd, I would double the stuffing! I ran out last year because the bird needed it all, and had to make an extra casserole of Stovetop. It didn't even compare to the homemade! This recipe is well worth the effort, and your family will thank you! You don't have to mess with the fancy turkey lacing, all I did was fasten the back and legs shut with a metal skewer and it turned out fine. Prep time does not include making bread cubes.

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 5h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chopped celery
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 cups dry bread, cubes (I will tell you how to make these at the end of the cooking directions)
1/2-3/4 cup chicken broth or 1/2-3/4 cup water
10 -12 lbs turkey
cooking oil

Steps:

  • For stuffing, in a medium saucepan cook celery, mushrooms, and onion in butter until tender but not brown, remove from heat.
  • Stir in sage, pepper, and salt.
  • Place dry bread cubes in a large mixing bowl, add onion mixture.
  • Drizzle with enough broth or water to moisten, tossing lightly.
  • Season body cavity of turkey with salt.
  • Spoon some stuffing LOOSELY into the neck cavity.
  • Pull the neck skin to the back, fasten with a skewer.
  • LIGHTLY spoon more stuffing into the body cavity (place any remaining stuffing into a casserole, cover and chill. Dot with butter and bake alongside turkey for 35-45 minutes or until heated through).
  • Tuck the ends of the drumsticks under the band of skin across the tail.
  • If the band of skin is not present, tie the drumsticks securely to the tail.
  • Twist wing tips under the back.
  • Place turkey, breast side DOWN, on a rack in a shallow roastng pan.
  • Brush with oil.
  • Cover turkey loosely with foil.
  • Roast turkey in a 325 degree oven for 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 hours, or until a meat thermometer placed into the center of a thigh (but not touching the bone) reads 180 degrees. Make sure center of stuffing reads 165 degrees.
  • After about 1 1/2 hours, turn the turkey over so that it is breast side up.
  • Brush breast side with oil.
  • After 2 1/2 hours, cut loose drumsticks so that thighs will cook evenly.
  • When done, drumsticks should move very easliy in their sockets and their thickest parts should feel soft when pressed.
  • Uncover the last 30 minutes of roasting.
  • To make dry bread cubes: cut bread into 1/2 inch squares.
  • (12-14 slices of bread for 8 cups cubes) Place in a brown paper bag and close loosely.
  • Let stand 3-4 days, mixing up by hand each day until thoroughly dry.
  • OR, spread bread cubes onto a large cookie sheet in a single layer and bake at 300 degrees 10-15 minutes or until dry, stirring twice.
  • Cool.
  • I highly recommend using homemade white bread (by hand or bread machine) for the bread cubes.
  • You will be AMAZED at the difference in texture!

TURKEY AND STUFFING



Turkey and Stuffing image

I generally follow the rule of 12 to 15 minutes per pound if the bird has stuffing in the cavity. A little less if no stuffing is involved. My recipe below makes enough stuffing for a 16 to 20-pound bird.

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 3h50m

Yield serves 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

One 14- to 16-pound turkey, innards removed and reserved , neck reserved for gravy
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 stalks celery, washed and sliced into 1-inch pieces
2 large onions, peeled, halved, and sliced
1 head garlic
2 sprigs fresh sage, stemmed and coarsely chopped
4 bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
7 cups low-sodium chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup dry marsala, or sherry
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 stick unsalted butter, divided
1 pound loose pork sausage, broken into small pieces
6 cups 1-inch cubed sourdough bread, crusts and all

Steps:

  • For the turkey: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Transfer the turkey to a roasting pan, fitted with a roasting rack if desired, and soak the cheesecloth in the butter. Season the bird with salt and pepper. Brush any remaining butter on top of the bird and cover the breasts with the cheesecloth to prevent the top skin from burning before it is cooked. Place the celery, onions, garlic, sage, bay, and rosemary in and around the turkey in the roasting pan - these will be used to make the stuffing when everything is roasted.
  • Place the roasting pan in the center of the oven. Cook for about 12 minutes per pound. After about 2 hours of cooking, remove the cheesecloth from the top of the breasts and return the turkey to the oven to cook for 1 more hour. If the tips of the wings start to get too dark, cover with foil to prevent them from burning.
  • For the gravy: Place the neck and the chicken stock in a pot and simmer gently on top of the stove as the turkey finishes cooking. The stock should reduce by about half. Season with salt and pepper.
  • How do you know when the turkey is done? The temperature of the thigh meat (where the meat is thickest and takes the longest time to cook) should register 165 degrees F when tested with a thermometer. When done, remove the bird from the oven, transfer it to a flat surface (or serving platter), and allow it to rest for 20 to 30 minutes before removing the vegetables for stuffing and carving the meat.
  • For the stuffing: Heat a large skillet and add half a stick of butter. Add the sausage and cook until brown and crispy. Reserve any grease and set the sausage in a large bowl with the roasted vegetables from the turkey tray. Add the remaining butter to the pan. Add the cubed sourdough bread and cook, stirring, until they toast golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Toss and season with salt and pepper before adding to the bowl with the vegetables. Stir everything together and taste for seasoning, adjusting if necessary.
  • For the gravy: Unless the bottom of the roasting pan is burned, you can make delicious gravy. Place the roasting pan over the burners of the stove, add the mustard and marsala to the pan, and warm it over low heat. Scrape the bottom to get the drippings and tasty bits off of the pan as the marsala reduces. Strain the neck out from the stock and pour about 1/2 cup into a small bowl. Whisk the flour into the bowl, taking care there are no lumps. Reduce the marsala until there is almost no liquid. Add the remaining chicken stock and the flour mixture to the roasting pan. Whisk to blend. Taste for seasoning. Reduce until the mixture thickens. Transfer to a gravy boat.
  • Allow the turkey to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Serve sliced turkey with stuffing (dressing) on the side.

TRADITIONAL ROAST STUFFED TURKEY



Traditional Roast Stuffed Turkey image

When I eat roast turkey, I want a basic recipe, no special herbs or brines. Slow roasted straight up, browned to perfection. Just the way Grandma used to do it when I was a little girl. I begin the stuffing preparation the night before. Don't let the long instructions scare you off, I explained each step for beginner cooks.

Provided by Chef Dee

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 4h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 lbs whole turkey
2 loaves white bread
1 loaf brown bread
1/2 cup margarine
1 medium onion
4 tablespoons sage
1 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Tear the bread into pieces, and place back into the bags overnight.
  • Dice the onion, and leave covered on the counter.
  • The next day, saute the diced onion in margarine, stir in sage and chicken broth.
  • Place the bread pieces in a large mixing bowl, pour most of the onion mixture onto the bread and stir.
  • The stuffing has enough moisture when you can squeeze a handful, and when opening your hand, the stuffing stays in a loose ball. If it falls apart, add a little more onion mixture.
  • If it is soggy and squeezes together tightly, add a little more bread pieces.
  • If the bird has skin which is binding it's legs together, cut this.
  • Rinse the bird, remove and discard heart, neck etc. and pat the insides to remove some of the moisture.
  • Push the stuffing into the carcass,until you cant' get anymore in, overstuffing the bird as seen in the picture. The tighter you push it in, the moister the stuffing will be.
  • Stuff the neck cavity.
  • If you have leftover stuffing, that is a good thing. Place it in a sprayed crock pot and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
  • Wrap the legs and wings with foil, they will cook quickly.
  • Put a piece of loose foil over the entire bird.
  • Roast at 325°F for about 3 hours.
  • Remove all of the foil, setting it aside and roast for another hour.
  • If the turkey does not have a pop up timer, use a meat thermometer.
  • When done, set the turkey out on the counter and cover loosely with the foil, let it stand 20 minutes for a moist bird.
  • Remove the stuffing from the bird and mix it in with the crock pot stuffing.
  • Carve the turkey and serve on a platter.
  • Enjoy this time honored tradition with your loved ones.
  • You may use more or less sage, according to your tastes.

CLASSIC ROAST TURKEY WITH HERBED STUFFING AND OLD-FASHIONED GRAVY



Classic Roast Turkey With Herbed Stuffing and Old-Fashioned Gravy image

After trying every turkey-roasting method under the sun, I've finally settled on this as absolutely the best. The secret? Slow down the cooking of the breast area, which tends to get overcooked and dried out before the dark meat is done, with a cover of aluminum foil. These instructions are for a 12-pound turkey, which serves eight people. But you can easily scale it up for a bigger bird. Estimate about one pound of meat per person (one and a half pounds if you want lots of leftovers) and refer to the chart in the Test-Kitchen Tips, below, for the scaled-up cooking times.

Provided by Rick Rodgers

Categories     turkey     Roast     Thanksgiving

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12-pound) turkey
Warm Farmhouse Herbed Stuffing
Approximately 8 cups warm Homemade Turkey Stock
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened, plus additional, melted, if needed for gravy
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Special Equipment
small metal skewer; kitchen string; aluminum foil; large flameproof roasting pan with flat or V-shaped rack; bulb baster (optional); instant-read thermometer; 2-quart glass measuring cup; gravy separator (optional)

Steps:

  • Place oven rack in lowest position and preheat oven to 325°F. Butter 8-inch square baking dish or 2-quart casserole. Lightly brush roasting rack with vegetable oil and place in roasting pan.
  • Remove plastic or paper packet of giblets from turkey (usually in small cavity). Remove from packaging and rinse; reserve gizzard and heart; discard floppy, dark purple liver. Remove neck from large cavity. Remove from packaging, rinse, and reserve. Using tweezers or needlenose pliers, remove any feathers and quills still attached to skin (kosher turkeys tend to require this more than others). Pull off and reserve any visible pale yellow knobs of fat from either side of tail (not found on all birds).
  • Rinse turkey inside and out with cold water and pat dry. Loosely fill small (neck) cavity with stuffing. Fold neck skin under body and fasten with metal skewer. Loosely fill large body cavity with stuffing. Transfer remaining stuffing to buttered dish and drizzle with 1/4 cup stock. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Transfer turkey, breast-side up, to rack in roasting pan. Tuck wing tips under breast and tie drumsticks loosely together with kitchen string. Rub turkey all over with softened butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Tightly cover breast area with foil, leaving wings, thighs, and drumsticks exposed.
  • Transfer gizzard, heart, neck, and reserved turkey fat to roasting pan around rack. Pour 2 cups stock into pan.
  • Roast turkey 45 minutes. Baste with pan juices (lift up foil to reach breast area) and continue roasting, basting every 45 minutes, 1 1/2 hours more (2 1/4 hours total). Baste again and, if pan juices have evaporated into glaze, add 1 cup stock to pan. Roast another 45 minutes (3 hours total). Remove foil from breast area, baste, and add stock if necessary, until instant-read thermometer inserted into fleshy part of thigh (close to but not touching bone) registers 180°F, about 1 hour more (4 hours total).
  • Insert instant-read thermometer into center of stuffing in body cavity. If thermometer does not read 165°F, transfer stuffing to microwave-safe baking dish and microwave on high until 165°F, about 3 minutes for 10 degrees. Cover and keep warm. Using turkey holders (or by inserting large metal serving spoon into body cavity), transfer turkey to large serving platter. Let stand 30 minutes before carving.
  • Meanwhile, bake extra stuffing and make gravy: Raise oven temperature to 350°F. Remove giblets and neck from roasting pan and discard. Pour pan juices into measuring cup or gravy separator. Let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes, then skim off and reserve fat or, if using separator, carefully pour juices into measuring cup, reserving fat left in separator.
  • Transfer foil-covered dish of extra stuffing to oven and bake 10 minutes. Meanwhile, add enough remaining stock to pan juices to total 4 cups. Measure turkey fat, adding melted butter if necessary to total 6 tablespoons. Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners on moderate heat and add fat. Whisk in flour, scraping up browned bits on bottom of pan, then cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Whisk in pan juice-stock mixture and bring to a boil, whisking often. Reduce heat to moderately low and simmer, whisking occasionally, until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Whisk in remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and keep warm. (Gravy can be kept warm over very low heat, covered, up to 20 minutes. If it thickens, thin with additional stock before serving. If skin forms on top, whisk well to dissolve.)
  • When extra stuffing has baked 10 minutes, remove foil and bake, uncovered, until heated through, about 10 minutes. Pour gravy through fine-mesh sieve into large bowl, then transfer to gravy boat. Carve turkey and serve gravy and stuffing alongside.
  • Test-Kitchen Tips:
  • •To combat dryness, most frozen turkeys and some fresh are injected with a saline solution. This is not a good thing, though: Injected birds generally lack flavor and can have a mushy texture. For this reason, we recommend buying a fresh turkey and checking the label to be sure there aren't any additives. (Look for the words "all natural.") Don't be too concerned, though, with the many other terms that can be applied to turkeys, such as free-range, organic, or heritage. All can be excellent.
  • •When buying a fresh bird, be sure to purchase it no more than two days before Thanksgiving. If you must get a frozen bird, defrost it in the refrigerator in a pan to catch drips, allowing a full 24 hours for each 5 pounds.
  • •Warm, moist stuffing is an optimal environment for bacteria such as salmonella or E. coli to multiply, so it's important to follow safe procedures. Be sure to make the stuffing at the last minute so it can go into the bird warm. This helps it move above the "danger zone" (the optimal temperature range for bacteria growth) more quickly during roasting. When you remove the turkey from the oven, be sure to check the temperature in the middle of the stuffing to make sure it's 165°F, the temperature at which bacteria will be killed. If it's not 165°F, scoop it out of the cavity and microwave it as directed in the recipe.
  • •More stuffing tips: Be sure not to overpack the cavities, as the stuffing will expand during cooking. Loosely fill the turkey, then spread the extra in a casserole dish (no more than 2 inches deep) and bake it after the turkey comes out (be sure to refrigerate it until then to impede bacteria growth). Drizzle the portion in the casserole dish with extra stock to make up for the juices it won't get from the turkey. If you want the stuffing that's cooked inside the turkey to be extra-moist (as opposed to having a crisp crust where it's exposed), cover the exposed portion with a small piece of aluminum foil.
  • •Opinions vary on whether or not to stuff the bird-some people think it can cause uneven cooking. If you prefer not to stuff your bird, fill the cavities with a chopped vegetable and herb mixture that will impart its flavor to the meat and pan juices: Chop 1 onion, 1 celery rib with leaves, 1 carrot, and 3 tablespoons fresh parsley. Mix this with 1 teaspoon each dried rosemary, sage, and thyme. Sprinkle the cavities with salt and freshly ground black pepper and place the mixture inside. An unstuffed bird will take about 15 minutes to a half hour less to cook than a stuffed bird. When the turkey is cooked, tilt it to allow any juices that have collected in the cavity to drain into the pan. Do not serve the vegetable mixture, as it may not have cooked to a safe temperature.
  • •This recipe can easily be scaled up to serve more people. Estimate about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds per person. Cooking times (for a stuffed bird, cooked at 325°F to an internal temperature of 180°F) will be as follows: 8 to 12 pounds: 3 to 3 1/2 hours 12 to 14 pounds: 3 1/2 to 4 hours 14 to 18 pounds: 4 to 4 1/4 hours 18 to 20 pounds: 4 1/4 to 4 3/4 hours 20 to 24 pounds: 4 3/4 to 5 1/4 hours
  • •Some experts prefer to cook their turkeys to an internal temperature of 170°F (rather than 180°F, as in this recipe). If you don't mind having the meat slightly pink, this is perfectly safe and makes it more moist. However, Rick Rodgers, who created this recipe, believes that the dark meat in particular does not achieve its optimum flavor and texture until it reaches 180°F. If you choose to stuff your turkey and cook it to only 170°F, its stuffing will almost definitely not reach the safe temperature of 165°F. When you remove the turkey from the oven, be sure to check the temperature in the center of the stuffing, and if necessary remove it and microwave it as directed in the recipe.
  • •Letting the turkey stand for half an hour after it comes out of the oven is an essential part of the roasting process. When meat roasts, its juices move to the outer edge of the flesh. Letting it rest gives the juices time to redistribute, making for a moister turkey. An added bonus: The resting time provides an excellent window of opportunity to make the gravy and reheat the side dishes. There's no need to cover the bird-it'll stay warm enough, and covering it would only soften the crispy skin.

11-13lb medium-sized turkey
3 -4 thick sausages, skins removed
for the prepared stuffing
7oz white breadcrumb
4 1/2oz butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 large sprigs of thyme and rosemary, chopped leaves only
6 fresh sage leaves
1 lemon, zest only
2oz pine nuts

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 fl.ozs. dry white wine
1 bay leaf

7 fl.ozs. double cream
pan juices, from roasting
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
  • Make the herb butter, mix herbs and butter together to form a paste, season well and chill.
  • Prepare the turkey, to remove legs, cut through the skin and pull joint firmly away from body then cut through ball and socket joints.
  • Cut away the 'oyster' on the back of the turkey so leg and thigh comes away cleanly.
  • With a thin, sharp knife, bone both legs and stuff with sausage meat.
  • Wrap tightly in tin foil and chill to set the shape.
  • Prepare the crown, cut off wing tips and, for easier carving, take out the wishbone and cut away back bone with poultry shears.
  • Lift up the breast skin with your fingers and separate it from the flesh.
  • Divide the herb butter between the two breast flaps and pull the skin back over.
  • Season well, place in a roasting tin and cover loosely with butter paper or foil.
  • Cook the turkey, put the foil-wrapped legs in a roasting pan and cook at 180C/350F/Gas4 for 45 minutes. Reduce temperature to 160C/320F/Gas 2 and cook for a further 15 minutes then remove foil and cook for a further 30 minutes, straining off any juices for the gravy.
  • Cook the crown for 1-1½ hours at 180C/350F/Gas 4 until juices run clear and let the bird rest for 30 minutes before carving.
  • Make the stuffing, melt butter in a large frying pan and gently sauté onion and garlic for five minutes until soft.
  • Stir in the herbs for one minute then add breadcrumbs to absorb butter.
  • Mix in zest, pine nuts and seasoning and cook over medium heat for about seven minutes until crumbs start to brown and crisp.
  • Take off the heat, mix in the parsley and serve warm.
  • Make the gravy, sauté the onion in the olive oil for about five minutes. Pour in the wine, add the thyme and bay and boil until reduced right down.
  • Add stock and boil until reduced by half then add cream and boil for further five minutes. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Remove from heat, cool for ten minutes and strain.
  • Add turkey pan juices, boil for two minutes, season with salt and strain. (This can be made in advance and frozen before the juices are added. When thawed, simply heat until boiling and follow point 20.).

ROASTED TURKEY WITH STUFFING



Roasted Turkey With Stuffing image

This is the recipe I used to make my first Thanksgiving dinner, 2005. Increase ingredients/cooking time to the size of your turkey. From Martha Stewart's magazine.

Provided by DecemeberMom

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 2h45m

Yield 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 tablespoons butter, room temp
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon sage
1 tablespoon thyme
coarse salt
pepper
1 (12 lb) whole turkey, Thawed if frozen, rinsed and patted dry, neck reserved. (Set aside giblets for stuffing, if desired.)
prepared stuffing, of your choice
4 -6 large carrots, halved crosswise
2 large onions, cut into 8 wedges
2 stalks celery, halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in the lowest position. Make herb butter: In a small bowl, mix together 4 tbs. butter w/chopped herbs; season generously w/salt and pepper. Prepare and stuff the turkey.
  • Cut neck into pieces, mix with carrots, ontions and celery, and 2 cups of water in a large roasting pan. Set roasting rack over vegetables in pan.
  • Lift turkey onto rack; rub with remaining tbs. butter. Season generously with salt and pepper. Tent turkey loosely w/foil. Roast 1 hour, then baste every 30 minutes with pan liquids, until an instant read themometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (avoid hitting the bone!) resisters 125*, about 3 hours.
  • Remove foil; raise oven heat to 400*. Continue roasting occasionally, until thigh reaches 180*, 45-60 minutes more. Tent with foil if bird browns too quickly; add more water if pan becomes dry.
  • Transfer turkey to a serving platter (I bought some extra stems of rosemary and made a "wreath" around the turkey on the platter, it looked nice!). Cover loosely with foil and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before carving.

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. For stuffing, in a large skillet cook celery and onion in hot butter over medium heat for 3 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat. Stir in sage and black pepper. Place dry bread cubes in a large bowl; add onion mixture. Drizzle with enough of the chicken broth to moisten, tossing lightly to combine.
  • Remove neck and giblets from the turkey. Rinse the inside of the turkey; pat dry with paper towels. Spoon some of the stuffing loosely into the neck cavity of the turkey. Pull the neck skin to the back; fasten with a skewer. Lightly spoon more stuffing into the body cavity. (Place any remaining stuffing in a casserole; cover and chill. If desired, for a moister stuffing, drizzle with additional broth. Bake stuffing in casserole alongside turkey about 45 minutes or until heated through.) Tie legs to tail with 100%-cotton kitchen string or tuck the ends of the drumsticks under the band of skin across the tail. Twist the wing tips under the back.
  • Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush with oil; season with additional salt and pepper. Insert an oven-going meat thermometer into the center of one of the inside thigh muscles, making sure the bulb does not touch bone. Cover turkey loosely with foil. Roast turkey for 2-1/2 hours.
  • Cut the string or band of skin between the drumsticks so the thighs will cook evenly. Uncover; roast for 45 minutes to 1-1/4 hours more or until meat thermometer registers 180 degrees F and an instant-read thermometer inserted in stuffing registers at least 165 degrees F. Remove turkey from oven. Cover; let stand for 15 minutes before carving. If desired, serve on a platter garnished with small apples and herb sprigs. Makes 12 to 14 servings.
