Ingredients

  • 0.8 cup canola oil 
  • tablespoons flour all-purpose
  • 54 servings salt and pepper to taste
  • 2.3 cups sausage 
  • 1.5 cups tangerine juice 
  • 2.3 cups turkey stock 
  • 0.8 cup butter unsalted divided
  • 10 pound turkey whole

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • oven
  • whisk
  • sieve
  • baking pan
  • roasting pan
  • cheesecloth

Directions

  1. Melt 6 tablespoons butter with canola oil and tangerine juice in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Remove from heat, and allow to cool about 5 minutes. Soak a piece of cheesecloth large enough to drape over the turkey in the mixture.
  3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F ( 220 degrees C).Clean turkey, and season body cavity with salt and pepper. Loosely pack the neck cavity and body cavity with stuffing. Tie drumsticks together, spread 6 tablespoons butter over the turkey, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place turkey in a shallow roasting pan.
  5. Roast turkey for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, and then arrange soaked cheesecloth over turkey. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (110 degrees C). Continue roasting 1 hour. Leaving the cheesecloth draped over the turkey, baste with the tangerine juice mixture. Continue roasting about 2 hours, basting occasionally, until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C) and the stuffing inside the body cavity reaches 165 degrees F (70 degrees C). Discard cheesecloth, and place turkey on a serving platter. Allow turkey to cool about 25 minutes before carving.
  6. Skim fat from pan juices, and reserve 1/4 cup fat and skimmed pan juices. In the baking pan, mix pan juices with 1 cup turkey stock; cook over high heat, stirring to scrape the bottom of the pan.
  7. In a saucepan over low heat, whisk together reserved 1/4 cup fat and flour until thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in pan juices and remaining turkey stock, and add neck and giblets. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until giblets are cooked through. Strain through a sieve, and serve with the turkey and stuffing.
