  • Melt 1 ½ sticks of butter and remove from heat, add the honey, lemon and orange zest, thyme, and chipotle. Refrigerate until firm. Set aside ½ cup for the gravy.
  • Loosen the skin of the turkey breast and carefully place the remaining prepared butter underneath. Baste the rest of the turkey and season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt ¼ of a stick of butter and sauté the onion and the chopped neck of the turkey until golden. Add the carrots, celery, tomato, and stir.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius. Place a rack in the roasting pan and put the vegetables around the turkey. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 200 degrees Celsius and place one cup of chicken broth in the roasting pan. Bake until a thermometer reads 175 degrees Fahrenheit (80 degrees Celsius), adding one cup of broth and basting the turkey every 30 minutes.
  • Strain the juices released by the turkey by pressing and remove the fat. Add the prepared butter we reserved and add the flour, allowing it to cook for about 2 minutes. Let the sauce thicken for about 5 minutes.
  • Once the turkey has rested for about 15-20 minutes, slice and serve with the chipotle and citrus gravy.
