Lemon and Herb Roasted Thanksgiving Turkey image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT6h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

One 12- to 14-pound fresh turkey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh oregano
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon ground sumac
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh thyme
1 teaspoon finely minced shallots
Grated zest of 6 lemons (use 3 of the zested lemons below)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 sprigs fresh parsley
10 sprigs fresh thyme
3 lemons, halved
1 shallot, halved
3 carrots, roughly chopped
3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1 onion, roughly chopped
Water or stock, for the roasting pan
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • For the turkey: Twenty-four hours before cooking your turkey, liberally season the inside and outside of the bird with salt and pepper. Using a mini chopper or mortar and pestle, grind the oregano, parsley, tarragon, sumac, thyme, shallots and lemon zest together with some salt and pepper; the salt will help draw the moisture and flavor from the mixture. Add the olive oil to form a paste. Spread the herb mixture all around the inside and outside of the turkey. Refrigerate the turkey, uncovered to dry the skin, for 24 hours.
  • For the roasting: Remove the turkey from the fridge 90 minutes before roasting and allow it to come to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Season the turkey again with salt and pepper. Put the parsley and thyme sprigs in the cavity with the lemon and shallot halves.
  • Put the carrots, celery and onions in the bottom of a roasting pan fitted with a roasting rack. Add a cup of water or stock to the bottom of the pan. Add the turkey to the rack and roast, adding a little more water or stock to the pan if necessary to prevent the drippings from burning, for 30 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to roast, basting the turkey with the pan drippings every 30 minutes, until the thickest part of the leg registers an internal temperature of 155 degrees F, another 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Allow the bird to rest, tented with foil, for at least 1 hour before carving. The temperature will rise to about 165 degrees F during resting.
  • Pour the pan drippings into a saucepan, set the pan over medium-high heat and cook until reduced by one-half, about 10 minutes. Stir in the butter until melted. Pour the reduced turkey drippings over the carved turkey just before serving.

LEMON-HERB RUB



Lemon-Herb Rub image

This zesty rub is ideal for leaner foods such as turkey or chicken breasts and flaky white fish (such as halibut, cod, or snapper).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes 12 teaspoons

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon dried tarragon
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
4 dried bay leaves, crumbled
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon ground pepper
3 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix all ingredients.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Be sure to mix the rub thoroughly so that all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Apply the rub to the meat or poultry at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will give the rub time to penetrate the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • When cooking meat or poultry with a rub, be sure to cook it over low heat. This will help to prevent the rub from burning.
  • If you are using a rub on grilled or roasted vegetables, be sure to toss them with a little olive oil before applying the rub. This will help the rub to adhere to the vegetables.

Conclusion:

Lemon herb rub is a versatile and flavorful way to season meat, poultry, and vegetables. It is easy to make and can be used on a variety of dishes. Whether you are grilling, roasting, or baking, a lemon herb rub will add a delicious burst of flavor to your food.
