Time 6h30m

Yield 1 turkey, 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (14 -16 lb) whole turkey
1 1/2 teaspoons mixed-up salt, divided (I use Jane's Krazy Original Mixed-Up Salt)
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning, divided
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon pepper
5 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth, divided
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 carrots, sliced
3 celery ribs, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water
fresh parsley
orange slice
fresh cranberries

Steps:

  • Remove giblets and neck from turkey, and chill for gravy. Rinse turkey with cold water; pat dry with paper towels.
  • Combine 1 teaspoons each mixed-up salt, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, sage, and pepper; sprinkle cavity and outside of turkey with mixture.
  • Place turkey, breast side up, in a large roasting pan, tucking wingtips under. Pour 2 cans chicken broth into roasting pan; drizzle melted butter over turkey.
  • Bake, uncovered at 450°F for 1 hour. reduce heat to 425°F, shield with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted in thigh registers 180F, basting every 45 minutes with pan drippings.
  • Bring remaining 3 cans broth, neck, giblets, carrots, and next 3 ingredients to a boil in a saucepan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • Remove turkey to a serving platter, reserving drippings in roasting pan. Skim excess fat from drippings in pan, if desired.
  • Pour giblet mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into drippings in roasting pan, discarding solids. Bring to a boil in roasting pan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to loosen browned bits on bottom of pan.
  • Stir together flour and 1/2 cup water until smooth; add to giblet mixture, and over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, 10 minutes or until thickened. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoons each of mixed-up salt, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning. Serve with turkey. Garnish if desired.
