Steps:
- Make turkey:
- Put oven rack in lowest position and preheat oven to 450°F. Rinse turkey inside and out, then pat dry. Sprinkle turkey cavities and skin with salt and pepper. Fold neck skin under body and secure with metal skewers, then tie drumsticks together with kitchen string and tuck wings under body.
- Put turkey on rack in roasting pan. Add 1 cup water to pan and roast without basting, rotating pan halfway through roasting, until thermometer inserted into fleshy part of thighs (test both thighs; do not touch bones) registers 170°F, 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 hours.
- Carefully tilt turkey so any juices from inside large cavity run into roasting pan, then transfer turkey to a platter, reserving juices in roasting pan. Let turkey stand, uncovered, 30 minutes (temperature of thigh meat will rise to 180°F).
- Make gravy while turkey stands:
- Pour pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve into measuring cup (do not clean roasting pan), then skim off and discard fat. (If using a fat separator, pour pan juices through sieve into separator and let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully pour pan juices from separator into measure, discarding fat.)
- Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners, then add remaining cup water and deglaze roasting pan by boiling over high heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Pour through sieve into measuring cup containing pan juices. Add enough turkey stock to pan juices to bring total to 8 cups (if stock is congealed, heat to liquefy).
- Melt butter in a 4-quart heavy pot and stir in flour. Cook roux over moderate heat, whisking, 5 minutes. Add stock mixture in a stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, then bring to a boil, whisking occasionally. Stir in any turkey juices accumulated on platter and simmer 5 minutes. Season gravy with salt and pepper, then stir in cider vinegar (to taste).
ROAST TURKEYS WITH RICH PAN GRAVY
Over the years, I've developed a first-rate, do-ahead menu. Here's how: I roast two small turkeys instead of one big one. We all like the idea of someone carving the turkey at the table, but here's the reality: Most people don't know how. You're gonna get turkey juices all over that nice white tablecloth, while the side dishes turn tepid. So carve one in the kitchen and use the second one for display. The second turkey is strictly for show, seconds and leftovers.

Steps:
- The night before roasting, dissolve salt and sugar in 3 gallons of cold water in a large, clean ice chest or similar container in a cold spot, such as an unheated basement or garage. For those in warm climates, add ice packs to keep turkeys cool. Add turkeys, breast-side down; cover and let stand about 12 hours. (This brining keeps the turkey from drying out and seasons it right down to the bone.) Drain. Rinse turkeys and pat dry.
- About five hours before serving, set oven to 425 degrees and adjust oven rack to lower-middle position. Place turkey No. 1 breast-side down and cut out the back with kitchen shears. Open up turkey and turn it breast-side up, pressing on it with your palms so it lies flat. Place turkey, skin-side up, on a lipped cookie sheet over a bed of half the chopped vegetables. Brush turkey with butter.
- Roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 175 degrees, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Watch vegetables and pan drippings throughout - they should be kept dry enough to brown and produce the rich brown goo with which to brush Turkey No. 2 and make a rich gravy, but moist enough to keep from burning. So add water as needed throughout the cooking.
- Remove pan from oven and transfer turkey to a cutting board; reserve vegetables and pan juices for Turkey No. 2. Let the bird rest 30 minutes to 1 hour before carving, to allow the meat to firm up. Carve, transferring slices to an ovenproof serving platter or baking pan. Cover with aluminum foil. Refrigerate or set in a cool spot (below 40 degrees) until mealtime. Gently rewarm, covered, on platter or baking pan.
- Immediately after removing the first turkey, lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees and adjust oven rack to lowest position. Scrape vegetables and pan drippings from Turkey No. 1 into a roasting pan. Set a V-rack in the pan. Place remaining raw vegetables in the cavity of Turkey No. 2, then tie legs together with kitchen string for a nicer presentation. Set turkey, breast-side down, on rack. Brush with pan drippings from Turkey No. 1.
- Roast 1 hour. Remove from oven; baste back and sides with pan drippings. Using two wads of paper towels, carefully turn breast-side up and baste. Keep roasting until a thermometer inserted into the leg registers 175 degrees, 1 to 1 1/2 hours longer. Again, watch vegetables and drippings throughout and add water as needed. Transfer turkey to a platter for display (and then for seconds and leftovers).
- For gravy: Set roasting pan over 2 burners on medium-high heat. Add wine and, using a wooden spoon, stir to loosen brown bits. Strain contents of pan through a large strainer into a saucepan. Add broth and bring to a boil. Whisk cornstarch with 1/2 cup water (or 1/2 cup flour with 1 cup water), then gradually whisk into pan juices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened. Serve immediately.

CHEF JOHN'S ROAST TURKEY AND GRAVY
The biggest myth in all of American cookery is the belief that a juicy, perfectly cooked turkey is difficult for the novice cook to achieve. One of the secrets to a moist, delicious, and beautiful turkey is spreading butter under the skin. You can season the butter any way you want; the possibilities are endless.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Mix 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 tablespoon pepper, and poultry seasoning in a small bowl. Tuck turkey wings under the bird, and season cavity with about 1 tablespoon of the poultry seasoning mixture. Reserve remaining poultry seasoning mix.
- Toss the onion, celery, and carrots together in a bowl. Stuff about 1/2 cup of the vegetable mixture, rosemary sprigs, and 1/2 bunch sage into the cavity of the turkey. Tie legs together with kitchen string. Loosen the skin on top of the turkey breast using fingers or a small spatula. Place about 2 tablespoons butter under the skin and spread evenly. Spread the remaining butter (about 2 tablespoons) all over the outside of the skin. Sprinkle the outside of the turkey with the remaining poultry seasoning mix.
- Spread the remaining onion, celery, and carrots into a large roasting pan. Place the turkey on top of the vegetables. Fill the pan with about 1/2 inch of water. Arrange a sheet of aluminum foil over the breast of the turkey.
- Roast the turkey in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 3 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Remove the foil during the last hour of cooking. Baste the turkey with the pan juices.
- While the turkey is roasting, make stock: place neck, heart, and gizzards in a saucepan with the bay leaf and water. Simmer over medium heat for 2 hours. Strain the turkey giblets from the stock, and discard giblets. There should be at least 4 cups of stock.
- Remove the turkey from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Pour the pan juices, about 3 cups, into a saucepan and set aside. Skim off the turkey fat from the pan juices, reserving about 2 tablespoons.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the turkey fat and 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Transfer the onion from the roasting pan into the skillet. Cook and stir until the onion is browned, about 5 minutes, then stir in the flour. Continue to cook and stir for about 5 minutes more; whisk in 4 cups of the skimmed turkey stock and the reserved pan juices until smooth; skim off any foam. Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Simmer until the gravy is thickened, whisking constantly, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped sage, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.

- Serve turkey with gravy.
ROAST TURKEY WITH GRAVY
Low salt, or no-salt broth is required for this turkey gravy, do not be put off by the amount of seasoning used for this bird, for it produces delicious, and succulent results, from what I consider, minimal work.

Steps:
- Remove the giblets and neck from the bird, set aside, wash if desired, remove the liquid gravy packet, also set aside. Cover giblets and chill overnight, chill gravy pack also.
- Wash bird well, trimming any excess skin if desired, add to giblets, trim or remove any excess fat, discard. Prod in the bones of the cavity, to remove any debris, allow water to run clean over turkey.
- Season the cavity with 1/2 tablespoon salt. If the legs have not been mounted, by the producer, with a piece of the turkey's skin, tie them with string, otherwise, leave them as they were.
- Put the turkey in the roasting pan and season with the remaining salt, turn it well, distributing the salt, as evenly as possible, all over the turkey. Turn, breast side up, and chill, uncovered, overnight.
- The next day, remove the turkey from the ice box. Pour on the olive oil, as well as the remaining 2-3 teaspoons salt and the pepper. Smear it well, turning over the turkey two or three times.
- Allow to come to room temperature for two or three hours. After 10-30 minutes, the turkey will have put forth an amount of juices, which will need to be discarded.
- Put 2 tablespoons of the butter into a soup pot or 8-cup saucepan. Add the wine, onion, celery seeds, herbs, bay leaf, peppercorns, and giblets, including turkey neck, and turn the heat to medium, or medium-high, reduce the wine by at least half, stirring often, then pour in the broth, gravy packet, and water. Bring to a simmer.
- Cook gently, uncovered, for about an hour. Cool giblets in broth. Remove giblets to a plate. Remove as many solids as possible, discard. Strain broth into a mixing bowl, set aside.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with the rack set in the lower third. Remove turkey again, to a plate, again, eliminating any juices. Grease the roasting tin with soft shortening, and flour lightly. Replace turkey. Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Remove from heat. Soak a double layer of cheesecloth, enough, but not too much, to cover the bird, for two or three minutes, lay over the breast and sides of the turkey, fitting into the roasting tin, drizzle any leftover butter, over the cloth.
- Place in the oven, and roast, undisturbed, for 45 minutes- one hour. Remove roast from oven. Discard cheesecloth, (cloth may be washed later in running water and then soaked for up to several days in water mixed with a few spoons of Clorox, if desired to be reused).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350. Roast about 20-30 minutes longer. Retrieve roast, insert a thermometer into thickest breast section (without touching bone), return to oven, basting three or four times with drippings from pan, as the turkey cooks.
- Cook to 165 degrees in the breast, check the thigh joint, make sure it registers at least 165 as well.
- In the meanwhile, pull meat from the neck, making sure it's free of bones or sinew, and chop it. Pull any gristle from the liver, and chop the liver well, use the heart and gizzard (only if desired), they generally require peeling, before being chopped, set them aside.
- When the turkey has cooked, remove it to a plate, using a tong, and meat fork, tent loosely with foil.
- Detach any skin or meat stuck to the pan. Pour the juices, through a sieve, into a glass measure, or into the bowl of reserved broth. Discard the skin pieces.
- Put about 1/2 cup of the drippings (it may be that none of the fat actually floats free from the stock), into the roaster, add the flour, all at once, and turn the heat to medium or medium-high. Whisk till smooth. Begin incorporating the broth, do so in three or four additions. Simmer about one minute, taste for pepper, and wine. Stir in the neck and liver. Serve with the turkey, carved at the last minute.

ROAST TURKEY WITH SIMPLE GRAVY
Actually this is a recipe for the most amazing flourless gravy and it takes roasting a bird to make it. Try it with chicken, cornish hens, turkey, or capon. I'll use a turkey in the ingredients list and instructions since that's what I made.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Salt and pepper the turkey and the cavity.
- Fill the cavity with carrots, celery, appple, orange and garlic; tie the legs with kitchen twine.
- In a large roasting pan, spread the ingredients for "under the bird" in a stack about the same size as the turkey.
- Place the turkey onto of the bed of vegetables and herbs.
- Put butter on turkey.
- Place the turkey in the oven and roast 45 minutes.
- Pour half the chicken stock over the turkey; roast 45 more minutes.
- Pour remaining stock over turkey and roast 45 more minutes. It will start getting golden brown.
- Baste with pan juices, cover loosely with foil and roast an additional 45 minutes.
- When the turkey has reached an internal temperature of 165 to 175 degrees, remove from oven, keep covered, and let rest at least 15 minutes before carving.
- Strain the contents of the roasting pan into a bowl, keeping the solids in the strainer to use for the gravy. Remove the herbs and bay leaves.
- Measure out 3 cups of pan juices and 1 cup of strained vegetables. Puree with a hand blender or in a standard blender. Add more vegetables until gravy is the desired thickness, or more juices if too thick.
- Pour through a mesh striner again to make a smooth gravy.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat and serve with the sliced turkey.
- I suggest that you make more than the 4 cups of gravy if you have enough juice and vegetables in your pan. It will be great on leftovers or to store in your freezer.

Steps:
- Season the turkey on the outside with salt and pepper, and place it, breast side up, in a heavy roasting pan just large enough to accommodate it. Arrange the liver, neck, and gizzard around the turkey. (The giblets are often in a little package hidden in the neck end of the bird.) Fold a sheet of aluminum foil to create a triple thickness, making it just large enough to cover the breast. Rub butter evenly on one side of the folded foil, then place it, buttered side down, over the breast.
- Slide the bird into the oven and turn on the oven to 350°F (there is no need to preheat). Roast for about 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue to roast the turkey for about 1 1/2 hours longer, or until a thermometer inserted into the space between the thigh and the breast without touching bone reads 140°F. Transfer the turkey to a platter, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest in a warm spot for at least 20 minutes before carving.
- To make the gravy, remove the liver, gizzard, and neck from the roasting pan. Remove the meat from the neck and discard the bones. Place the neck meat, gizzard, and liver in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Do not process to a paste. Set the giblets aside.
- Check the juices in the roasting pan. If you have a lot of juices, transfer them to a glass pitcher, skim off the fat with a ladle, and return 3 tablespoons of the fat to the pan. If you have very few juices, place the pan on the stove top, boil down the juices until they caramelize on the bottom of the pan and separate from the fat, and pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat. Add the flour to the fat in the pan over medium heat and stir together for 1 minute to cook the flour and form a roux. If you have degreased juices, add broth to the measuring pitcher to total 3 cups. Gradually stir in the broth or broth-juices mixture and continue to stir over medium to medium-high heat until the roux and the caramelized juices dissolve into the gravy and the gravy is smooth and has thickened to a nice consistency. Add the ground giblets, stir well, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the gravy into a warmed sauceboat.
- Carve the bird and serve with the gravy.
