Steps:
- Place the turkey on a cutting board with the backbone facing up. Using kitchen shears, cut along both sides of the backbone to release it from the bird. Remove the backbone and discard. Flip the turkey over and use your palms to press against the turkey breasts and thighs until the bird is slightly flattened. Allow the turkey to come up to temperature for 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Remove 2 tablespoons of ranch seasoning from 1 packet and reserve. Mix together 8 tablespoons of the butter with the remaining ranch seasoning (from both packets) in a small bowl until well incorporated.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the carrots, celery and onions over the baking sheet. Lay the turkey on top of the vegetables, breast-side up. Spread the ranch butter all over and underneath the skin. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and put the turkey inside to roast.
- In the meantime, add the maple syrup and 1 cup of the chicken stock to a saucepan, then stir in the reserved 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning. Bring to a simmer just to warm through and incorporate the seasoning. Baste the turkey with this liquid every 20 minutes. (Allow 30 to 40 minutes of cooking time for every 3 pounds of turkey). If the skin turns golden brown before the turkey is completely cooked through, tent with aluminum foil until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 160 degrees F. Remove from the oven and tent the whole turkey with aluminum foil. Let rest 30 minutes. (There will be carryover cooking and the temperature will rise to 165 degrees F while resting).
- For the gravy, strain the juices left in the bottom of the roasting pan into a fat separator and pour the fat off the top. Place the saucepan used to make the basting liquid back on the stove over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and whisk in the flour, cooking for a minute. Slowly whisk in the remaining 2 cups chicken stock along with the juices from the pan. Season with salt and pepper and serve alongside the turkey.

Steps:
- Pat the turkey dry and turn it breast-side down on a cutting board. Using sharp kitchen shears or a knife, cut the backbone out of the turkey, reserving it for stock. Flip the turkey so it's breast-side up, then press down on it with your hands to flatten the bird.
- Whisk together the orange juice, oil, maple syrup and garlic in a large bowl. Reserve half of the marinade and set aside. Season the turkey on both sides with salt and pepper and place the turkey into the bowl with the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator an hour before grilling, so it can come to room temperature.
- Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only on medium-high heat.
- Place the turkey skin-side up over indirect heat and cover the grill. Maintaining a temperature of 375 to 400 degrees F, smoke the turkey until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 90 minutes. Baste the turkey with the reserved marinade every 30 minutes during cooking.
- Remove the turkey from the grill and rest, tented with aluminum foil, for at least 20 minutes before carving.
- (Alternatively, you can bake the turkey on a rimmed baking sheet in a 375 to 400 degrees F oven for 90 minutes.)

Steps:
- Four days before cooking, make the rub mixture and season the turkey: Coarsely grind the peppercorns and allspice berries by pulsing 3 to 4 times in a blade-style coffee/spice grinder. Add the dried thyme and pulse 3 more times. Combine the salt, rubbed sage and ground spices in a small bowl and set aside.
- Position the turkey, breast-side down with the tail facing you, on a silicone mat or other stable surface set inside a large sheet pan. Use heavy-duty kitchen shears to cut up one side of the backbone. Turn the bird and cut back down the other side of the spine. Reserve the backbone for stock or gravy. Discard any fat pockets or excess skin found inside the bird. Flip breast-side up and use the heel of your hands to press down on both breasts, until you hear a cracking sound and the bird flattens.
- Place the turkey breast-side up on a rack (I use a standard cooling or cake rack) set inside a sheet pan, and turn the wings backwards, tucking the tips under the forewings. Flip the turkey breast-side down and season with half of the rub mixture. Then flip the bird back breast-side up and season with the remaining mixture.
- Store, uncovered, on the lowest level of your refrigerator for 4 days.
- When ready to cook, allow the turkey to sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Place one oven rack in the center of the oven and a second one just below it. Place an empty roasting pan or large rimmed sheet pan on the lower rack. Crank the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place the turkey, still on the cooling rack, directly on the center oven rack. Add a cup of water to the pan below to prevent any drippings from smoking. Roast for 30 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue to roast the bird until a probe thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 155 degrees F, an additional 40 to 50 minutes.
- Remove the turkey and its rack and rest for 15 minutes before carving. Carryover heat will take the final temperature close to 165 degrees.
SPATCHCOCKED GRILLED TURKEY
Spatchcock is a funny word, but it's a seriously smart way to cook a large bird: it roasts faster, and if you make it on the grill, you free up space in your oven to cook sides. Ask a butcher to remove both the back and breast bones from your turkey: this will ensure that it lies flat while grilling and both the white and dark meat will cook evenly.

Steps:
- The day before roasting, combine the sugar, 1/4 cup salt and 2 teaspoons pepper in a small bowl. Rub the turkey all over with the salt mixture. Refrigerate on a baking sheet, uncovered, at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
- The next day, rinse the turkey and pat dry. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
- Place the turkey breast-side up over the drip pan and grill, covered, until the meat is cooked about halfway through, about 50 minutes. Turn and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the deepest part of the thigh registers 170 degrees F, about 50 minutes more. Move the turkey to direct heat and rotate to evenly brown the skin in the last 10 minutes of cooking. Transfer to a cutting board, cover and let rest 10 minutes before carving.
SPATCHCOCKED TURKEY WITH SAGE BUTTER AND GRAVY

Steps:
- For the turkey: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Remove and reserve the heart and giblets from the turkey cavity; remove and discard the liver. Flip the turkey upside down so the breast is on your cutting board. Using kitchen shears, cut along both sides of the backbone to remove it. Using your fingers, gently separate the skin from the breast meat while keeping it attached. (You want to create a pocket for the sage butter without tearing the skin.)
- Push the Sage Butter under the skin of the turkey, being careful not to puncture it. Rub the skin with olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- For the gravy: Put the bay leaves, garlic, apples, celery, carrots, onions, cinnamon stick and thyme in a roasting pan and sprinkle with salt. Add 2 cups of the chicken stock and 1 cup of the apple cider, as well as the heart, giblets and backbone of the turkey.
- Roast the turkey: Place a roasting rack on top of the vegetables and set the turkey on the rack. Roast for 1 hour 15 minutes. Tent the turkey with foil and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the leg (without touching bone) registers 175 degrees F. Let the turkey rest for 15 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, finish the gravy: Strain all the veggies over a bowl; discard the veggies. Skim the fat from the pan juices and add it to the roasting pan; this is the fat for the roux.
- Set the roasting pan over 2 burners over low heat and whisk in the flour. Cook until the mixture looks like wet sand, 4 to 5 minutes. Slowly whisk in the remaining 1 cup apple cider and 2 cups chicken stock, as well as the strained pan juices from the bowl. Cook until the mixture has thickened and reached a gravy consistency. Taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper as needed. Pour into a serving pitcher or bowl and serve with the turkey.
- Mix the butter with the sage and some salt and pepper until well blended. Set aside.
