   10 pounds whole turkey, neck and giblets reserved

    3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

    3/4 cup canola oil

    1 1/2 cups tangerine juice

    2 1/4 cups turkey stock

    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

    2 cups Sausage, Apple and Dried Cranberry Stuffing

 

  Preheat oven to 425F. Rinse the turkey, pat it dry, and season inside

 with salt and pepper. Pack the neck cavity loosely with the stuffing.

 Fold the neck skin under the body, and fasten it with a skewer. Pack

 the body cavity loosely with the remaining stuffing. Tie the drumsticks

 together (truss) with butcher’s twine. Spread the turkey with 1/2 of

 the butter (6 tablespoons) and season it with salt and pepper. Place

 turkey in a shallow roasting pan; roast for 25 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt the remaining butter (6 tablespoons)

 with the oil and tangerine juice; allow mixture to cool. Reduce the

 oven temperature to 325F. Baste the turkey with the pan juices and

 drape it with a piece of cheesecloth soaked in the tangerine-oil

 mixture. Roast the turkey for one hour before basting the turkey with

 the tangerine-oil mixture and pan juices (over the cheesecloth) every

 20 minutes for 2 1/2 hours more (or until juices run clear when the

 fleshy part of a thigh is pricked with a skewer and a meat thermometer

 inserted in the fleshy part of a thigh registers 180-185F.

 

  Discard the cheesecloth and the trussing string from turkey. Transfer

 the turkey to a heated platter, reserving the pan juices in the roasting

 pan; let stand for 25 minutes before carving and spooning out stuffing

 into a serving dish. Skim the fat from the remaining pan juices and

 reserve 1/4 cup. Add 1 cup of the stock to the pan juices and deglaze

 the pan over high heat, scraping up the brown bits.

 

  In a saucepan, whisk the 1/4 cup of reserved fat and flour. Cook the

 “roux” over low heat, whisking, for 3 minutes. Add the remaining 2 cups

 stock and the deglazing liquid; continue to whisk. Simmer the gravy for

 10 minutes, stirring constantly, then strain through a sieve. Add

 chopped giblets; transfer to gravy boat and serve.

12- to 14-pound turkey (reserving neck and giblets, but excluding liver,

      for making stock)

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter

8 sprigs mixed fresh herbs such as thyme, sage, rosemary, and/or marjoram

1 1/2 cups water

 

 For gravy:

1 large onion

1 1/2 cups dry white wine

4 cups Turkey Giblet Stock plus additional for thinning gravy

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

 

Garnish: large bouquet of mixed fresh herb sprigs

 

Preheat oven to 325° F.

 

Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry. Fold neck skin under body and fasten with

a small skewer. Using small skewers secure wings to body. Transfer turkey to a rack

set in a roasting pan and melt butter. Brush inside of turkey with some butter and

season with salt and pepper. Put herb sprigs inside body cavity. Brush outside of

turkey with remaining butter and season with salt and pepper. Loosely tie drumsticks

together with kitchen string. Roast turkey in middle of oven 1 hour.

Add water to pan and roast turkey, basting every 20 minutes, 2 hours more, or until

a meat thermometer inserted in fleshy part of a thigh registers 175° F. and juices run

clear when thigh is pierced. Transfer turkey to a heated platter and reserve juices in

pan. Remove skewers and discard string. Let turkey stand 30 minutes.

 

While turkey is standing, make gravy:

Finely chop onion. Skim fat from reserved pan juices and reserve 1/2 cup fat (for

sautéing onions, below, and for stuffing). On top of stove deglaze pan with wine

over moderately high heat, scraping up brown bits, and boil mixture until reduced

to about 1/2 cup. Add 4 cups stock and bring to a simmer. Pour wine mixture

through a sieve into a saucepan.

 

In a large, heavy skillet sauté onion in 1/4 cup reserved fat over moderately high

heat, stirring frequently, until browned, about 15 minutes. Stir in flour and cook

roux over moderately low heat, whisking, 3 minutes. Bring wine mixture to a

simmer. Add hot wine mixture to roux in a fast stream, whisking constantly to

prevent lumps, and simmer, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes. Whisk in additional

stock to thin gravy to desired consistency. Season gravy with salt and pepper and
transfer to a heated sauceboat.
