Steps:
- 1. Rinse turkey with cool water, dry with paper towels. Let stand for 2 hours at room temperature. Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a rack on the bottom. Combine melted butter and wine in a bowl. Fold a large piece of cheesecloth into quarters and cut into a 17 inch, 4 layer square. Immerse in the butter and wine and let soak. Place turkey, breast side up, on a roasting rack in a heavy metal roasting pan. If the turkey comes with a pop-up times, remove it. Fold wing tips under turkey. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp salt and pepper inside turkey. Fill large cavity with as much stuffing as it will hold comfortably; do not pack tightly. Cook remaining stuffing in a buttered baking dish at 375 degrees. Tie legs together loosely with kitchen string. Fold neck flap under and secure with toothpicks. Rub turkey with the softened butter and sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 tsp salt and pepper. Lift cheesecloth out of liquid and squeeze it slightly, leaving it very damp; reserve remaining liquid. Spread it evenly over the breast and about halfway down the sides of the turkey; it can cover some of the leg area. Place turkey, legs first, in over. Cook for 30 minutes. Using a pastry brush, baste cheesecloth and exposed parts of turkey with butter and wine mixture.
- 2. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to cook for 2 1/2 more hours basting every 30 minutes and watching pan juices (and Macy's parade). After the third hour of cooking, carefully remove and discard cheesecloth. Turn roasting pan so that the breast is facing the back of the oven. Baste trukey with pan juices. If there are not enough juices, continue to use the butter and wine mixture. The skin will get fragile as it browns, so baste carefully. Cook one more hour, basting after 30 minutes.
- 3. After the fourth hour of cooking, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, avoiding any bones. The temperature should reach 180 degrees (stuffing should be between 140 degrees and 160 degrees and the turkey should be golden brown). The breast does not need to be checked for temperature. If legs are not yet fully cooked, baste turkey, return to oven , and cook another 20-30 minutes.
- 4. When fully cooked, transfer turkey to a serving platter and let rest for about 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Rinse turkey with cool water, and dry with paper towels. Let stand for 2 hours at room temperature.
- Place rack on lowest level in oven. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Combine melted butter and white wine in a bowl. Fold a large piece of cheesecloth into quarters and cut it into a 17-inch, 4-layer square. Immerse cheesecloth in the butter and wine; let soak.
- Place turkey, breast side up, on a roasting rack in a heavy metal roasting pan. If the turkey comes with a pop-up timer, remove it; an instant-read thermometer is a much more accurate indication of doneness. Fold wing tips under turkey. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon each 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.) Tie legs together loosely with kitchen string (a bow will be easy to untie later). Fold neck flap under, and secure with toothpicks. Rub turkey with the softened butter, and sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper.
- Lift cheesecloth out of liquid, and squeeze it slightly, leaving it very damp. Spread it evenly over the breast and about halfway down the sides of the turkey; it can cover some of the leg area. Place turkey, legs first, in oven. Cook for 30 minutes. Using a pastry brush, baste cheesecloth and exposed parts of turkey with butter and wine. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue to cook for 2 1/2 more hours, basting every 30 minutes and watching pan juices; if the pan gets too full, spoon out juices, reserving them for gravy.
- After this third hour of cooking, carefully remove and discard cheesecloth. Turn roasting pan so that the breast is facing the back of the oven. Baste turkey with pan juices. If there are not enough juices, continue to use butter and wine. The skin gets fragile as it browns, so baste carefully. Cook 1 more hour, basting after 30 minutes.
- After this fourth hour of cooking, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. Do not poke into a bone. The temperature should reach 180 degrees (stuffing should be between 140 degrees and 160 degrees) and the turkey should be golden brown. The breast does not need to be checked for temperature. If legs are not yet fully cooked, baste turkey, return to oven, and cook another 20 to 30 minutes.
- When fully cooked, transfer turkey to a serving platter, and let rest for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make the gravy. Pour all the pan juices into a glass measuring cup. Let stand until grease rises to the surface, about 10 minutes, then skim it off. Meanwhile, place roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup dry red or white wine, or water, to the pan. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the pan until liquid boils and all the crisp bits are unstuck from pan. Add giblet stock to pan. Stir well, and bring back to a boil. Cook until liquid has reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add the defatted pan juices, and cook over medium-high heat 10 minutes more. You will have about 2 1/2 cups of gravy. Season to taste, strain into a warm gravy boat, and serve with turkey.
HERB-ROASTED HERITAGE TURKEY
Heritage birds have, quite simply, incredible turkey flavor (making the additional expense well worth it). The skin on this bird was so crisp that it practically shattered.

Steps:
- Turkey:Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with rack on bottom. Mash together butter, grated zests, minced sage and thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pat turkey dry. Loosen skin of breast and thighs; rub herb mixture under skin. Season inside cavity and outside with salt.
- Fill cavity and neck end lightly with stuffing. Transfer remaining stuffing to a 1-quart baking dish; cover with parchment-lined foil. Tie legs and tuck wing tips under. Transfer to a roasting pan fitted with a rack. Bring wine, orange juice, orange-zest strips, whole sage and thyme sprigs, and 2 1/2 cups water to a boil. Dampen a piece of cheesecloth with wine mixture; drape over turkey. Pour remaining liquid into roasting pan.
- Roast turkey 30 minutes; baste with pan juices. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees and roast 30 minutes more. Remove cheesecloth; baste. Continue roasting, basting bird and rotating pan every 30 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 150 degrees to 155 degrees (for a conventional turkey, 165 degrees), about 1 hour, 30 minutes more, adding water to pan as needed to prevent scorching (if bird is browning too quickly, tent with foil). Transfer turkey to a platter; let stand 45 minutes. Reserve pan with drippings for gravy.
- Meanwhile, bake remaining stuffing 25 minutes. Uncover; bake until heated through and crunchy on top, about 20 minutes more. Carve turkey and serve, topped with more sage and thyme sprigs.
- Gravy:While turkey is resting, pour pan drippings into a fat separator; let stand until fat rises to surface. (Or use a large glass measuring cup and skim fat from top with a spoon.)
- Bring 1 1/2 cups stock to a boil in roasting pan over two burners, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Whisk together remaining 1 cup stock and flour; stir into pan. Boil until thickened and reduced, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in defatted pan juices; cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, in a gravy boat.
MARTHA'S PERFECT ROAST TURKEY

- To make the turkey: Allow turkey to defrost in the refrigerator, 2 to 3 days. Once fully defrosted, turkey can be kept in the refrigerator up to 7 days. When ready to cook, remove neck and giblets from within turkey (reserve neck, heart, and gizzard for giblet stock; discard liver). Rinse turkey with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Let stand for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 450°F with a rack on lowest level. Melt 1 1/2 sticks butter in a small saucepan. In a small bowl, whisk 1 turkey broth packet with 1 cup warm water to dissolve. Combine turkey broth and melted butter in a large bowl. (Alternatively, forgo making the turkey broth and combine melted butter with 1 cup dry white wine). Immerse cheesecloth in the butter mixture and set aside to soak until fully saturated. Let remaining 1/2 stick butter soften at room temperature.
- Fold wing tips under turkey. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper inside the turkey. If stuffing turkey, fill large cavity and neck cavity loosely with as much stuffing as they can hold comfortably; do not pack tightly. Place extra stuffing in a small baking dish and set aside. Right before serving, bake extra stuffing uncovered at 350°F until golden on top, about 30 minutes.
- Tie legs together tightly with kitchen twine. Fold neck flap over stuffing, and secure with toothpicks, attaching flap to underside of turkey (or just tuck underneath turkey). Place turkey, breast side up, on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan. Pour 2 cups water into the roasting pan. Rub turkey with remaining 1/2 stick softened butter and season generously with salt and pepper.
