Ingredients
- 1 turkey (cut into 7 or 8 pieces, about 12-15 pounds)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup white wine
- ⅓ cup marsala wine
- 3 tablespoons cranberry sauce (or red currant or raspberry jam)
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large roasting pan, coat the turkey pieces with the oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and about ⅔ of the fresh herbs.
-
Remove the thighs and the breasts to a separate bowl. Place the drumsticks and wings in the pan skin side down. Add the wine to the pan with the turkey. Roast for 15 minutes.
-
Remove the turkey from the oven and turn over the drumsticks and wings. Add the breasts and thighs to the pan, skin side up. Roast 45 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the breast reads 160 degrees. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and tent with foil, any pinkness should fade as the meat rests.
-
To make the gravy, strain the pan juices into a saucepan. Add marsala, jam, and the remaining herbs. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer for about 3 minutes, season with salt to taste. Pour juices into a small pitcher for serving. Carve the thighs and breast meat into pieces and arrange on a platter.
