  • 1 orange
  • 1 lime
  • 1 onion
  • 6 sprigs rosemary
  • 6 sprigs sage
  • 6 sprigs oregano
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter

Preparation

3h 20 mins
Low
  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF or 200ºC.
  • Clean the turkey and rinse with water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Cut the oranges, lemons, and onion and place inside the turkey. Add 2 sprigs of each type of herb (rosemary, sage, and oregano).
  • Using kitchen twine, tie the turkey's legs together.
  • In a pot, mix 2 tablespoons of butter, the herbes de Provence, oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of pepper until the butter melts. Stir well.
  • Place the turkey on a turkey roasting pan and brush the turkey with the melted butter. If possible, try to spread the butter between the skin and the meat of the turkey using your hands.
  • Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Add 3 cups of chicken broth to the turkey roasting pan and the rest of the fresh herbs. Bake the turkey for another 40 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350ºF or 180ºC and remove the aluminum foil from the turkey. Add 1 cup of chicken broth to the roasting pan.
  • Continue baking the turkey for about 1.5 hours. Baste the turkey with its juices every 15-20 minutes. (The turkey is done when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165ºF or 70ºC).
  • Remove the turkey from the oven and cover with aluminum foil while you prepare the gravy.
  • To make the gravy, strain all the remaining juices from the turkey roasting pan (you can discard the solids).
  • After a few minutes, when the fat separates from the turkey, skim the fat off the top of the turkey juices with a spoon.
  • Add enough chicken broth to make a total of 4 cups of broth (including the turkey juices).
  • In a pot, melt 5 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute. Gradually add the broth while continuing to stir until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the gravy with the turkey and enjoy.
