Perfect Roast Turkey




Source of Recipe


"Thanksgiving 101" by Rick Rodgers


List of Ingredients




1 10-12 pound fresh turkey with Pop-Up Timer (serves 10-12)

1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature

2 teaspoons each dried rosemary, thyme and sage

1 teaspoon each dried marjoram and celery seed

Salt and freshly milled pepper

8 cups homemade turkey stock or canned chicken broth


Recipe



Position rack in lowest oven position; preheat oven to 325°F. Rinse turkey inside and out with cold water and pat dry. Pull wing tips up and tuck between wings and body and place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in CorningWare Creations Open Roaster. Rub over with the softened butter. Crush herbs together to release flavor and rub mixture over turkey. Season with salt and pepper. Tightly cover the breast area with aluminum foil. Pour 2 cups stock into the bottom of roaster and roast, basting all over every 30 minutes for about 2 hours (lift up the foil to reach the breast area). Remove foil to allow breast skin to brown; roast for about another hour until the Pop-Up Timer indicates turkey is done. Remove from oven, loosen browned bits on the bottom of roaster and pour drippings into a 2- quart Pyrex measuring cup. Allow turkey to rest for at least 20 minutes. Serve in the Creations 4 1/2-quart Open Roaster.

Gravy: After drippings have settled for at least 5 minutes, skim off fat and reserve. Add enough stock or broth to drippings to make 6 cups. Add melted butter to reserved fat to make 1/2 cup. In a saucepan over low heat, heat the turkey fat mixture. Whisk in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and cook until lightly browned. Add drippings mixture and continue whisking until thickened, about 2 minutes. Keep gravy warm until serving.
