Orange Rosemary Turkey Gravy Food

WHOLE ROASTED TURKEY WITH CITRUS ROSEMARY SALT

Steps:

• For the Citrus Rosemary Salt: In food processor, process all the ingredients. Pulse until well blended. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the Roasted Turkeys: Remove necks and giblets and put into a large saucepan. Add 2 onions, 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks and chicken stock. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat and let simmer until reduced to about 2 cups. Strain and reserve; this is the turkey stock that you will use for the gravy.
• Wash the turkeys, inside and out, and dry well. Coat each turkey, inside and out, with 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Season each turkey on the outside with a tablespoon or two of the Citrus Rosemary Salt, pressing it in to adhere. Place 4 rosemary sprigs and 2 lemon halves inside the cavity of each turkey.
• Arrange 4 of the halved carrots and 4 celery stalks on each of 2 half-sheet pans (use baking sheets with a lip). Position each turkey on top of the carrots and celery so that the turkey does not rest directly on the bottom of the pan. Drizzle turkeys with remaining olive oil.
• Roast until an instant-read thermometer (inserted deep into the thigh but away from the bone) reads 165 degrees F and juices in the thigh run clear when pierced with a fork, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours; begin checking at 2 hours. Remove from the pans and let rest for 15 minutes before carving. Reserve pan juices for gravy.
• While turkeys are resting, make the gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour. Whisk over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until a smooth, blond-colored mixture is formed. Add the reserved turkey stock and pan juices and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and let simmer until thickened and ready to serve. Season, to taste.
• Carve turkey and serve with gravy.

ORANGE AND MAPLE-GLAZED TURKEY WITH THYME-SHALLOT GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the turkey: Pat the turkey dry, inside and out. Place the onion and orange quarters into the cavity, tie the drumsticks together and tuck the wings under the bird.
• Rub butter all over the skin, then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place the turkey on a rack set over a roasting pan. Roast for 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring the orange juice and maple syrup to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat.
• After 25 minutes, turn down the oven to 375 degrees F and glaze the turkey with the orange-maple mixture. Continue to roast, glazing the turkey every 25 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F, 3 to 4 hours more, depending on the oven. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• For the gravy: Meanwhile, Heat the olive oil and butter in a thick-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and thyme, and cook until brown. Add the flour; cook for 1 minute.
• While whisking, slowly add the turkey drippings. Bring to a boil and cook, whisking, until thickened, 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
• Carve the turkey and serve with the gravy.

ROSEMARY CITRUS MISO-RUBBED TURKEY

Steps:

• Pulse about 1/4 of onion rings, plus rosemary and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add black pepper, poultry seasoning, and miso paste and purée until smooth. Add butter and purée - mixture will appear curdled.
• Put oven rack in lowest position and preheat to 350°F. Rinse turkey inside and out, then pat dry. Working from large cavity end, gently run fingers between skin and meat of breast to loosen skin, being careful not to tear skin. Push miso butter under skin, including thighs and drumsticks, and massage from outside to spread evenly. Place a lemon slice inside of a pepper ring and slide under skin, positioning evenly over breast and drumsticks. Repeat with remaining pepper and lemon slices until a pleasing pattern results. Sprinkle cavity with seasoned salt. Stuff cavity with lemon and orange quarters, squeezing juice into cavity as you go, and fold neck skin and flap into the cavity. Tie drumsticks together with kitchen string and tuck wings under body.
• Rub turkey with 2 tablespoons of oil. Shake 1 tablespoon flour in oven roasting bag, layer bottom of bag with onion and celery slices, and place bag into roasting pan. Place turkey on top of onions and celery in bag and close bag with tie included in the box. Cut six 1/2-inch slits in top of bag, as directed. Roast according to package directions, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until timer pops out. Remove from oven and let sit in the bag for 30 minutes. Remove turkey from bag.
• Strain pan juices into a 3-quart saucepan and skim off excess fat, if desired. Add 4 cups turkey stock to pan juices and bring to a boil. While stock is reaching boil, whisk together water and cornstarch. Slowly pour cornstarch mixture into boiling stock, whisking continuously. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until gravy is thickened and clear. Stir in any turkey juices accumulated on platter and season gravy with salt and pepper.

MARMALADE-GLAZED ROAST TURKEY & GRAVY

Steps:

• Sit the turkey in a large roasting tin, breast-side up, and gently push your fingers under the skin until you can fit your whole hand down the length. Season the turkey all over with 1 tbsp sea salt flakes. Cover and chill for at least 1 hr, or up to 24 hrs.
• Remove the turkey from the fridge 1 hr before cooking so it can come to room temperature. Beat the butter, orange zest and half the rosemary leaves with some pepper. Transfer the turkey to a board and put the onions, carrots and turkey neck and giblets into the tin. Sit the turkey on top, then spread about 4 tbsp of the flavoured butter under the skin, over the breasts, using your hands. Spread the rest of the butter over the outside of the turkey, ensuring the legs and wings are well coated. Put the orange halves and rosemary stalks in the cavity.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Work out the cooking time based on 40 mins per kg. A turkey this size will need about 2 hrs 40 mins, plus 30-45 mins resting. Cover the turkey loosely with foil and roast for 2 hrs. Remove the foil and brush generously with some of the marmalade, then roast for 15 mins more. Brush with more marmalade and sprinkle with the remaining rosemary leaves. Return to the oven for a final 15 mins. Check the turkey is cooked through by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast - it should read 65C, and the thickest part of the thigh should read 75C. If the turkey isn't up to temperature, return to the oven for 15 mins at a time until it's cooked through. Leave the turkey in the tin for 10 mins, then lift onto a lipped board or tray to rest, uncovered, for at least 20 mins, or up to 40 mins.
• To make the gravy, skim all but about 2 tbsp fat off the juices in the tin. If the roasting tin is flameproof, put it directly over a medium heat. If not, tip the juices into a large shallow pan first. Scatter over the flour and stir to make a paste, then stir in the wine and bubble for 2 mins. Pour in the stock and bring to a simmer, then add the soy sauce and simmer for 10 mins until the gravy has thickened. Add any resting juices from the turkey to the gravy, season to taste, then strain into a jug. Carve the turkey and serve with the gravy on the side.
