topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

    Turkey

  • 1 turkey leg
  • 2 turkey wings
  • 1 turkey neck
  • 2 tbsp. l. rapeseed oil (canola)
  • 6 large cloves of garlic
  • 2 sweet Vidalia onions, quartered
  • 2 carrots, cut into thirds
  • 3 stalks celery, cut into thirds
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 6 fresh sage leaves

    Amazing gravy

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 4 cups warm turkey broth
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp chopped sage
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Rub the turkey pieces evenly with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place the turkey skin-side down in a large baking dish and roast for 45 minutes.
  2. Prepare and combine the vegetables. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C), briefly remove the turkey, and add the vegetables, turning to coat with the juices. Place the turkey skin-side up on top of the vegetables and continue roasting for another 35 minutes.
  3. Remove the pan from the oven, place it over the burners, and pour in 4 liters of water. Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits, moving the turkey and vegetables as needed. Simmer over medium-low heat for 2 hours, uncovered. Remove the turkey and vegetables from the sauce and strain it through a sieve. Let it sit and skim off any fat from the surface.
  4. Amazing gravy:
    Yield: 3.5 cups

    In a large skillet, melt the butter, whisk in the flour, and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the warm turkey broth, 1/2 cup at a time, until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour into a gravy boat and serve.
