Home Cooking Recipes
Required Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, divided
- 3/4 cup canola oil
- 1 1/2 cups tangerine juice
- 1 (10 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets reserved
- 2 1/4 cups Awesome Sausage, Apple and Dried Cranberry Stuffing
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 1/4 cups turkey stock
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Preparing/Cooking:
- Melt 6 tablespoons butter with canola oil and tangerine juice in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Remove from heat, and allow to cool about 5 minutes.
- Soak a piece of cheesecloth large enough to drape over the turkey in the mixture.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F ( 220 degrees C).
- Clean turkey, and season body cavity with salt and pepper.
- Loosely pack the neck cavity and body cavity with stuffing.
- Tie drumsticks together, spread 6 tablespoons butter over the turkey, and season with salt and pepper.
- Place turkey in a shallow roasting pan.
- Roast turkey for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, and then arrange soaked cheesecloth over turkey.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (110 degrees C).
- Continue roasting 1 hour.
- Leaving the cheesecloth draped over the turkey, baste with the tangerine juice mixture.
- Continue roasting about 2 hours, basting occasionally, until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C) and the stuffing inside the body cavity reaches 165 degrees F (70 degrees C).
- Discard cheesecloth, and place turkey on a serving platter.
- Allow turkey to cool about 25 minutes before carving.
- Skim fat from pan juices, and reserve 1/4 cup fat and skimmed pan juices.
- In the baking pan, mix pan juices with 1 cup turkey stock; cook over high heat, stirring to scrape the bottom of the pan.
- In a saucepan over low heat, whisk together reserved 1/4 cup fat and flour until thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in pan juices and remaining turkey stock, and add neck and giblets.
- Simmer 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until giblets are cooked through.
- Strain through a sieve, and serve with the turkey and stuffing.
