Roasted Turkey with Garlic, Rosemary and Roasted Lemon with Cremini Mushroom Gravy image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 whole sprigs fresh rosemary
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 fresh turkey (16 pounds), rinsed well and patted dry
6 whole heads garlic, halved
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 whole lemons, halved
6 shallots, peeled and halved
2 large carrots, coarsely chopped
2 large stalks celery, coarsely chopped
6 cups homemade chicken stock
1/4 cup reserved fat from the roasting liquid (from turkey, see recipe)
1 1/2 pounds cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup dry white wine
Reserved roasting liquid
3 cups homemade chicken stock
4 whole sprigs fresh rosemary
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the turkey: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting.
  • Rub the cut side of 2 halves of garlic over the entire turkey, and then put in the cavity. Brush the entire turkey with 4 tablespoons of the butter and sprinkle with the rosemary, salt and pepper (including in the cavity). Put 2 lemon halves into the cavity.
  • Put the shallots, carrots, celery and remaining garlic and lemon halves in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place a roasting rack in the pan and place the turkey on the rack. Add 2 cups of the stock to the bottom of the pan and place in the oven. Put the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and 4 cups stock in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Keep covered and warm.
  • Roast the turkey for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and continue roasting, basting with the warm stock every 20 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the breast registers 155 degrees F and into the thigh registers 160 degrees F, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove the turkey to a cutting board, loosely tent with foil and let rest at least 20 minutes before carving.
  • Strain the juices into a bowl through a strainer. Let the fat rise to the top of the stock and remove 1/4 cup of the fat. Reserve the fat to make the gravy. Reserve the strained juices for the gravy.
  • For the gravy: Heat the reserved fat in the roasting pan (used to roast the turkey) over high heat over 2 burners. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown and the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook until pale golden brown. Whisk in the red and white wine and cook until evaporated. Add the reserved roasting liquid and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add the rosemary sprigs and cook until the gravy thickens, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
  • Carve the turkey and serve with the cremini mushroom gravy.

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 5h15m

Yield 14-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 1/2 quarts water
6 tablespoons earl grey tea (18 tea bags)
3 lemons, juice and rind of
6 fresh rosemary sprigs
2 cups kosher salt
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
12 cups ice
1 (24 -26 lb) whole turkey, neck, heart and gizzard removed
3 whole lemons, punctured all over with a fork
2 celery ribs
1 large onion, unpeeled and quartered
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups low sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Bring 6 1/2 quarts water to a boil. Remove from heat and add tea, lemon peel and rosemary. Cover and let steep for 20 minutes. If using tea bags, remove them. If using bulk tea, remove lemon peel and rosemary, set aside and strain the mixture and discard the tea leaves. Pour the mixture back in the pot and stir in salt, sugar and the set-aside lemon peel and rosemary. Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved. Stir in the ice, cool to below 50 degrees F. Line a large pot with two 30-gallon plastic garbage bags, one inside the other. Place turkey in the bag-lined pot, breast-side down. Pour brine over turkey; press to submerge. Twist off bags to eliminate air pockets and tie. Refrigerate turkey in brine for 2 days (48 hours).
  • Drain turkey, discard brine. Pat turkey dry. Stuff cavity with rosemary, punctured lemons, celery and onion. Fold wing tips under; tie legs. Rub olive oil all over the turkey.
  • Place oven rack in the lowest third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Place turkey on a rack in large roasting pan. Place bird in oven and roast for 2 hours, then baste with 1/2 cup broth.
  • Continue to roast until turkey is brown and thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F. Basting frequently with the remaining 1 1/2 cups broth and pan juices. Cover loosely with foil if browning too quickly. Transfer turkey to a large platter or carving board. Tent loosely with foil. Let stand at least 30 minutes or up to 45 minutes prior to carving.

Tips:

  • Choose a Fresh Turkey: Opt for a fresh, high-quality turkey for the best flavor and texture. Check the "sell-by" date to ensure freshness.
  • Proper Thawing: Thaw the turkey thoroughly before cooking. The recommended method is to thaw it in the refrigerator for 1 day per 4-5 pounds of turkey weight.
  • Dry the Turkey Thoroughly: Pat the turkey dry with paper towels before roasting. This helps the skin crisp up and absorb the flavors better.
  • Generous Seasoning: Use a generous amount of salt and pepper to season the turkey inside and out. You can also add your favorite herbs and spices for extra flavor.
  • Use Unsalted Butter: If a recipe calls for butter, use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Roast at High Temperature Initially: Start the roasting process at a high temperature (450°F) for 30 minutes to help crisp up the skin. Then, reduce the temperature to 325°F for the remainder of the cooking time.
  • Baste Regularly: Baste the turkey with its juices every 30-45 minutes during roasting. This helps keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh to ensure the turkey is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Let the Turkey Rest: After roasting, let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
