Apple-Shallot Roasted Turkey


Recipe from Eating Well: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/apple_shallot_roasted_turkey.html
Makes: 12 servings, 3 ounces each, plus plenty of leftovers
Active Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 3 ½ hours

Ingredients:
1 10- to 12-pound turkey
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus 3 sprigs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, plus 3 sprigs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus 3 sprigs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1½ pounds shallots, peeled and halved lengthwise, divided
1 tart green apple, quartered
3 cups water, plus more as needed
Kitchen string

Preparation:

  1. Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 475°F.
  2. Remove giblets and neck from turkey cavities and set aside to use for the Turkey Giblet Stock (recipe following). Place the turkey, breast-side up, on a rack in a large roasting pan; pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Combine oil, chopped parsley, sage, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the herb mixture all over the turkey, under the skin and onto the breast meat. Place herb sprigs, six shallot halves and apple in the cavity. Tuck the wing tips under the turkey. Tie the legs together with kitchen string. Add three cups water to the pan.
  4. Roast the turkey until the skin is golden brown (about 45 minutes). Remove the turkey from the oven. If using a remote digital thermometer, insert it into the deepest part of the thigh, close to the joint. Cover just the breast with a double layer of foil, cutting as necessary to fit. Scatter the remaining shallots in the pan around the turkey. Reduce oven temperature to 350° and continue roasting until the thermometer (or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh without touching bone) registers 165°F (1 to 1¾ hours more). If the pan dries out, tilt the turkey to let juices run out of the cavity into the pan and add one cup water.
  5. Transfer the turkey to a serving platter (reserve pan juices and shallots) and tent with foil. Make Cider Gravy (recipe follows). Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes. Remove the string and carve.
