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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
