- 2 qt chicken stock
- 2 by leaves
- 4 TBSP butter
- 4 TBSP flour
Instructions:
- Butterfly the turkey:
- Pat the bird dry.
- Lay it breast down on a cutting board.
- Press down with one hand and cut on one side of the backbone in the center of the bird, beginning at the tail portion.
- Cut through to the neck and slightly open the turkey with your hands.
- Make the same cut along the other side of the backbone.
- After cutting out the backbone, check for a large chunk of fat near the neck and remove that piece.
- Flip the turkey onto its back and spread the legs, pressing hard until the bird cracks and lies flatter.
- Tuck the wings under the breasts.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and position the oven rack to the middle.
- Line a broiler pan with foil
- Spread out just over half of the vegetables across the broiler, and place a rack over them.
- Rub a tablespoon of oil on the bird and season it liberally.
- Place the bird on the rack, making sure to tuck the wings behind the back and press down a bit.
- Roast the turkey, turning the pan every so often until the thickest piece of the breast reaches 150°F and the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F, about 1 ½ hours.
- Whip up the gravy while the turkey roasts:
- Chop the neck, backbone, and giblets.
- Heat the other tablespoon of oil in a saucepan.
- Add the turkey and brown, for about five minutes.
- Add the rest of the vegetables and cook another five minutes; the veggies will begin to soften.
- Add the stock, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer.
- Cook for 45 minutes.
- Strain and discard solids.
- Skim fat off the top of the gravy.
