Garlic Aioli Roasted Turkey With Lemon Parsley Pan Sauce Recipes

GARLIC-AIOLI ROASTED TURKEY WITH LEMON-PARSLEY PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Roast the turkey:
• Pat turkey dry, reserving giblets and neck. Let turkey stand at room temperature 1 hour to air-dry the skin before roasting.
• Meanwhile, position rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 450°F. Trim 1/4" from top of 3 garlic heads to expose cloves, then place heads on a sheet of foil. Spoon oil over garlic, then wrap tightly in foil to enclose. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and roast until very soft, about 40 minutes.
• Carefully unwrap garlic, let cool slightly, and squeeze pulp into a food processor. Add mayonnaise and blend until smooth.
• Place turkey on rack in large roasting pan. Cut remaining 2 garlic heads in half crosswise and stuff cavity of bird with garlic head halves, bay leaves, parsley, and thyme. Loosely tie legs together with kitchen twine. Starting at neck end, slide your hand between skin and breast meat to loosen skin. Rub half of mayonnaise mixture under skin, then half over outside. Season both sides with sea salt and pepper. Turn turkey breast side up and place reserved giblets and neck in pan.
• Place turkey in 450°F oven, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F and roast 1 hour. Rotate pan, wrap wing tips in foil, and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 160°F, 1-1 1/2 hours more.
• Transfer turkey to a cutting board, reserving turkey drippings and juices in pan, and cover loosely with foil. Let rest at room temperature 30 minutes before carving (internal temperature will rise to 165°F and juices will lock in).
• Make the pan sauce:
• Transfer pan drippings and juices to a 2-qt. glass measuring cup, then skim off fat, reserving 2 Tbsp. fat. Add enough stock to pan juices to make 4 1/2 cups total. Combine cornstarch and reserved fat with a fork in a small bowl.
• Set roasting pan across 2 burners. Remove garlic from interior of turkey, then add to pan along with shallot, bay leaf, and thyme. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until shallots begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Deglaze pan with pan juices mixture, stirring and scraping up brown bits, about 2 minutes. Whisk in cornstarch mixture and cook until liquid is reduced by one-third, about 5 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl and stir in parsley, lemon juice, kosher salt, and pepper.

GORDON RAMSAY'S ROAST TURKEY WITH LEMON, PARSLEY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220°C/Gas 7. Meanwhile, prepare the herb butter. Put the butter into a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and mix well. Add the lemon zest and juice, crushed garlic and chopped parsley. Mix well to combine.
• Remove the giblets from the turkey cavity. Season the cavity well with salt and pepper, then stuff with the onions, lemon, garlic halves and 2 bay leaves.
• With your hands, loosen the skin on the breast from both ends of the bird so that you will be able to stuff the flavoured butter underneath it, making sure you keep the skin intact. Repeat with the skin on the legs - from the lower side of the breast feel your way under the skin and out towards the leg, loosening the gap.
• Stuff half the butter mix into the opened spaces under the skin. From the outside of the skin, gently massage the butter around the breasts so that the meat is evenly covered. Finally, insert the rest of the bay leaves under the skin of the breasts.
• Place the bird in a large roasting tray, breast side up. Spread the rest of the butter all over the skin. Season well with salt and pepper, then drizzle with a little olive oil. (If preparing a day ahead, cover the turkey with foil and refrigerate at this stage.).
• Roast the turkey in the hot oven for 10-15 minutes. Take the tray out of the oven, baste the bird with the pan juices and lay the bacon rashers over the breast to keep it moist. Baste again. Lower the setting to 180°C/Gas 4 and cook for about 2½ hours (calculating at 30 minutes per kg), basting occasionally.
• To test whether your turkey is cooked, insert a skewer into the thickest part of the leg and check that the juices are running clear, rather than pink. As oven temperatures and turkey shapes and sizes vary, it is crucial to check your turkey about 30 minutes before the calculated roasting time. If the juices are pink, roast for another 15 minutes and check again. Repeat as necessary until the turkey is cooked.
• Transfer the turkey to a warmed platter and remove the parson's nose, wings and tips of the drumsticks; reserve these for the gravy. Leave the turkey to rest in a warm place for at least 45 minutes; make the gravy in the meantime. Remove the bay leaves from under the skin before carving. Serve the turkey with the piping hot gravy, stuffing and accompaniments.

ROASTED FINGERLING POTATOES WITH LEMON-PARSLEY AIOLI

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, toss together the potatoes, salt, cayenne and olive oil. Place the potatoes cut-side down on a non-stick baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and cooked through.
• For the aioli: While the potatoes are roasting, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, mustard and salt in a small bowl. Fold in the chopped parsley and set aside until ready to serve.
• Serve the potatoes warm alongside the bowl of lemon-parsley aioli, for dipping.

ROASTED GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Take the whole heads of garlic and cut the tops off to expose the garlic cloves. Place on a large piece of aluminum foil and drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap up the foil into a tight pouch, and then place in the oven and roast for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Squeeze the pulp from the skins (you'll need 1/3 cup).
• In a food processor, combine the roasted garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce and some salt and pepper. Pulse until well combined. Refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld together. Garnish with parsley.

PARSLEY, OLIVE OIL, AND GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the parsley and garlic in a small bowl. Slowly add the olive oil, whisking to combine. The sauce will be bright green and thick with parsley. Season to taste. Can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 or 4 days, bring to room temperature before using.

ROAST TURKEY WITH LEMON & GARLIC

Steps:

• Up to two days ahead, make the salt mix by grinding the salt with the thyme leaves and pepper in a spice grinder or using a pestle and mortar. Sit the turkey in a roasting tin and gently push your fingers under the skin, starting from the neck, until you can push your whole hand in down the length of the breast. Take care not to tear the skin.
• Season the bird all over with the salt mix, inside and out and under the skin. Leave the turkey in the tin, breast-side up, and put in the fridge for up to two days - the longer you salt it, the more succulent the turkey will be. For the crispest skin, leave the turkey uncovered so it dries out, but loosely cover it if you prefer.
• Tip the butter, vegetable stock powder and lemon zest into a small bowl and mix until completely combined. Cover and chill. Can be made a few days ahead or frozen, wrapped in cling film, for one month.
• Remove the turkey from the fridge an hour or so before you want to cook it. Remove the butter from the fridge to soften. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Work out your cooking time based on 40 mins per kg for the first 4kg, plus 45 mins for every kg after that.
• Use your hands to spread the butter under the skin so that it covers the entire breast area and work it into the crevice between the thigh and the main body, then smooth the skin over with your hands. Put the onion, lemon halves, and garlic in the cavity.
• Cover the tin loosely with foil and roast for the calculated cooking time. Around 30 mins before the end of cooking, increase the oven temperature to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, remove the foil, baste the turkey and return to the oven. When the turkey is beautifully brown and cooked through, remove from the oven and leave to rest on a warm platter covered with foil for up to 1 hr. Save the juices from the tin to make gravy.

PARSLEY AIOLI

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, and garlic. With the machine running, slowly pour the olive oil in a slow, steady stream through the feed tube. The mixture will emulsify into a mayonnaise. Add the herbs, and process to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the aioli to a small bowl, cover, and keep refrigerated.
