Step 1 if desired and if not using the orange and herb butter rub and glaze, prepare fruited turkey brine. Preheat oven to 325f. If not brining, remove neck and giblets from turkey; discard. Rinse the turkey body cavity; pat dry with paper towels. If desired and if turkey was not brined, use orange and herb rub and glaze according to directions or sprinkle body cavity with salt and pepper. If desired, spoon desired stuffing or turkey aromatics loosely into body cavity. Skewer neck skin to back. Tuck drumstick ends under band of skin across the tail if present or tie drumsticks securely to the tail using 100-percent-cotton kitchen string. Twist wing tips under back. Advertisement.

step 1

Step 2 place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush with oil; sprinkle with additional salt and pepper. Insert an oven-going meat thermometer into the center of an inside thigh muscle (the thermometer should not touch bone). Cover turkey loosely with foil.

step 2

Step 3 roast turkey for 2 1/4 hours. Remove foil; cut band of skin or string between drumsticks so thighs cook evenly. Roast for 30 to 45 minutes more (60 to 75 minutes if stuffed) or until the meat thermometer registers 175f; if stuffed, the center of the stuffing should register 165f. (the juices should run clear and drumsticks should move easily in their sockets.) if desired, during the last 15 minutes of roasting, brush turkey twice with glaze. Remove turkey from oven. Cover with foil; let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Transfer turkey to a cutting board and carve. Serve with perfect turkey gravy.

step 3

Step 1 in a 16-quart stockpot combine the water, apple cider, kosher salt, brown sugar, orange slices, bay leaves, crystallized ginger, peppercorns, and allspice. Cover; heat over high heat until brine is steaming, stirring occasionally to dissolve salt and brown sugar. Remove from heat. Add the ice; let stand until ice melts and brine is cool. Advertisement.

step 4

Step 2 remove neck and giblets from turkey; reserve for another use or discard. Rinse the turkey body cavity. Place turkey in stockpot with cooled brine. Weigh down turkey with several plates. Cover; chill for 12 to 16 hours.

step 5

Step 3 remove turkey from brine, draining excess brine from cavity; discard brine. Pat turkey dry with paper towels. Continue preparing turkey for roasting as directed in step 1.

step 6

Step 1 once the cavity has been sprinkled with salt and pepper, insert the orange wedges, apple wedges, onion wedges, garlic bulb, and herb sprigs into the cavity. Continue preparing turkey as directed in step 1. Advertisement.

step 7

Step 1 in a medium bowl combine the butter, sage, rosemary, thyme, orange peel, salt, and pepper. Divide mixture in half. Once the turkey has been rinsed and dried with paper towels, lift your fingers between the skin and meat on the breast to loosen skin. Lift skin and spread half of the butter mixture under the skin from front to back of turkey. Continue preparing turkey as directed in step 1. Advertisement.

step 8

Step 2 place the remaining half of the butter mixture in a microwave-safe bowl; cover. Microwave on 100 percent power (high) until melted. Stir honey into butter mixture. Use to baste turkey during the last 15 minutes of roasting.
