Yield Makes 14 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Turkey:
1 19- to 20-pound turkey; neck, heart and gizzard reserved for gravy
8 quarts water
2 cups coarse salt
1 cup honey
2 bunches fresh thyme
8 large garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons coarsely cracked black pepper
2 lemons, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cups (about) canned low-salt chicken broth
Gravy:
Reserved turkey neck, heart and gizzard
6 cups water
3 1/2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
2 carrots, coarsely chopped
1 onion, halved
1 large celery stalk, chopped
1 small bay leaf
5 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/4 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • For turkey:
  • Line extra-large stockpot with heavy large plastic bag (about 30-gallon capacity). Rinse turkey; place in plastic bag. Stir 8 quarts water, 2 cups coarse salt and 1 cup honey in large pot until salt and honey dissolve. Add 1 bunch fresh thyme, peeled garlic cloves and black pepper. Pour brine over turkey. Gather plastic bag tightly around turkey so that bird is covered with brine; seal plastic bag. Refrigerate pot with turkey in brine at least 12 hours and up to 18 hours.
  • Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Drain turkey well; discard brine. Pat turkey dry inside and out. Squeeze juice from lemon halves into main cavity. Add lemon rinds and remaining 1 bunch fresh thyme to main cavity. Tuck wings under turkey; tie legs together loosely to hold shape. Place turkey on rack set in large roasting pan. Rub turkey all over with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Roast turkey 1 hour. Baste turkey with 1 cup chicken broth. Continue to roast until turkey is deep brown and thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 180°F, basting with 1 cup chicken broth every 30 minutes and covering loosely with foil if turkey is browning too quickly, about 2 1/2 hours longer. Transfer turkey to platter. Tent turkey loosely with foil and let stand 30 minutes. Pour pan juices into large glass measuring cup. Spoon off fat; reserve juices.
  • For gravy:
  • While turkey cooks, place reserved turkey neck, heart and gizzard into large saucepan. Add 6 cups water, 3 1/2 cups chicken broth, carrots, onion, celery and bay leaf. Simmer over medium heat until turkey stock is reduced to 3 cups, about 2 hours. Strain turkey stock into bowl; reserve turkey neck and giblets. Pull meat off neck. Chop neck meat and giblets.
  • Melt 5 tablespoons butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add 5 tablespoons all purpose flour and whisk 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in turkey stock, cream and up to 1 cup reserved turkey pan juices (juices are salty, so add according to taste). Simmer gravy until thickened to desired consistency, whisking occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add chopped turkey neck meat and giblets; season to taste with pepper.
  • Serve turkey with gravy.

DRY-BRINED TURKEY WITH SHEET-PAN GRAVY



Dry-Brined Turkey With Sheet-Pan Gravy image

For those who want to let the side dishes do the talking, this is the bird for you. Delightfully simple, it's dry-brined (meaning highly seasoned) with only salt, pepper, some thyme and a little brown sugar, which helps with that golden-brown skin. It's roasted on a sheet pan, and cut-up onions, garlic, lemon and herbs are scattered in and around the turkey to cook at the same time. They're excellent served alongside the turkey, and are instrumental in flavoring the sheet-pan gravy.

Time 4h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 bunch fresh thyme
1 (12- to 14-pound) turkey
1/3 cup kosher salt
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
4 to 5 medium red onions, quartered
3 lemons, halved crosswise
2 heads garlic, halved crosswise
1/3 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups Cheater's Turkey Stock (see recipe), or low-sodium chicken, turkey or vegetable broth, plus more as needed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar, plus more to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the turkey: Strip the leaves from 4 sprigs of thyme, and coarsely chop the leaves. Place in a medium bowl along with salt, brown sugar and pepper; mix to blend well.
  • Place the turkey on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a wire rack. (If you do not own a wire rack, just place the turkey directly on the baking sheet.) Make sure the giblets (the bagged heart, kidneys and liver, and the neck) are removed from the cavity. Using paper towels, pat the turkey dry on all sides. Sprinkle with the salt mixture, making sure to distribute the seasoning evenly to all the bits and parts.
  • Refrigerate turkey, uncovered, for 8 to 24 hours - the longer, the better.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Remove turkey from the fridge, and transfer it to another clean rimmed baking sheet (discard any liquid that has accumulated on the first baking sheet). Stuff turkey with remaining bunch of thyme, a few of the quartered onions and half of the lemons and garlic. Scatter remaining onion quarters, lemons and garlic around the turkey.
  • Combine olive oil and 6 tablespoons butter in a small pot over medium heat until butter is melted. Pour half of the mixture over the turkey and onions. Toss the onions lightly to evenly coat; season everything with salt and pepper.
  • Roast, rotating the baking sheet every hour or so, until the turkey has reached 160 degrees when a thermometer is inserted in the deepest part of the thigh, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. The turkey will be cooked through and tender, and the skin will be brown, but you can and should get it browner.
  • Increase temperature to 425 degrees. Pour remaining butter mixture over the turkey (warm it slightly if solidified) and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees and the skin is very deeply browned all over, 20 to 25 minutes. It's O.K. if the internal temperature is just shy of 165 degrees, it will come to temperature as it rests. (If you find the skin is browning too quickly, especially on the top at the breast, feel free to place a sheet of foil over the breast.)
  • Remove turkey from the oven and let rest on the baking sheet for 30 minutes (and upward of 45 minutes). Tip the turkey, cavity-side down, making sure the aromatics stay inside the cavity and letting any juices run out onto the rimmed baking sheet. (This is what we will use to make our gravy.)
  • Transfer the roasted onions, lemons and garlic to another dish and set aside. Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let it continue to rest while you make the gravy.
  • Make the gravy: Pour about 1 cup Cheater's Turkey Stock or chicken broth onto the baking sheet. Using a spatula (a fish spatula is great for this), scrape up the bits from the turkey drippings, just like you're deglazing a skillet after searing a piece of meat.
  • Carefully pour the contents of the baking sheet into a large measuring cup or other spouted vessel. Add remaining stock until you have 4 cups of liquid; you may need more or less stock depending on how juicy the bird was.
  • Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add flour and cook, whisking constantly, until flour is sizzling furiously and well toasted, about the color of a graham cracker, 4 to 6 minutes. (The mixture will be thick at first but will thin as the flour cooks.)
  • Slowly whisk in fortified stock mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, letting it bubble, thicken and incorporate completely between additions until all of it has been added.
  • Add soy sauce and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Continue simmering until gravy is at your desired viscosity and the flavors have all melded together, 5 to 8 minutes. Add more soy sauce if you feel like it needs more depth of flavor, vinegar if you want more acidity, and salt and pepper for seasoning. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to serve.
  • To serve, carve the turkey and arrange on a large platter (or two of your largest plates) with the onions, lemons and garlic. Reheat the gravy until it's very hot and transfer to two gravy boats (glass measuring cups or coffee mugs work well if you do not own a gravy boat) and serve alongside.

  • Three days out from the big day, put the bird in the fridge to thaw. One day out, put the bird in the brine overnight in the fridge (I use a large dedicated bucket for this). If the bird is thawed enough that you can get the giblets out, keep them for the gravy!
  • On the big day, move the bird out of the brine onto a rack in a roasting pan. Dry the skin well all over with paper towels. Rub the bird down with butter all over; throw some in the cavity too. Season inside and out well with salt and pepper. Tuck the wing tips under breasts. Shove a bunch of thyme and rosemary sprigs in the cavity. Also shove in the halved garlic bulb. Tie the legs together. Lay the bacon criss-crossed over the bird. Roast at 325F, ~3-3 ½ hrs for a ~10 lb bird; 5-5 ½ hrs for a ~20 lb bird. Baste hourly. If it starts to get too browned, tent some foil over top. Bird is done when the internal thigh temperature is 180. Set the bird aside to rest while you make the gravy.
  • While the bird is cooking, make the stock. In a saucepan over med-high heat, add the giblets and cover with water (~4c). Simmer while the turkey cooks (the longer the better) to make a stock adding more water as necessary. Strain and add enough chicken broth to make 2 cups total liquid. Reserve the neck, liver, and heart giblets to add to the gravy (I discard the kidneys).
  • For the gravy, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the thyme and 2 T flour. Let it bubble on medium heat 2 minutes. Separately, pour the pan drippings from the turkey into a small bowl. Spoon off and discard as much fat as possible from these drippings. In the turkey pan using a flat whisk or the back of a spoon, work 3 T flour into the browned yum-yums on the bottom of the pan. Transfer these from the roasting pan to the roux in the sauce pan (it's fine not to get all of it especially any that's particularly scorched). Then, slowly and whisking constantly, add the turkey stock to the saucepan with the roux. Add the Applejack and pan drippings as well. Bring to a gentle simmer, whisking frequently, and cook until thickened (~5-10 min). Add the meat, chopped, from the turkey giblets. Add more broth, as necessary, if it gets too thick. Taste and adjust for seasoning (I rarely need to add more salt; I always add some pepper).
