Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 whole garlic bulbs; 6 large onions, halved; 5 fresh rosemary sprigs; 1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds); 2 cups white wine; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 3/4 teaspoon pepper; 1/4 cup butter, cubed; 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Servings: persons

1
Remove papery outer skin from garlic (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut tops off of garlic bulbs. Place the garlic, onions and rosemary sprigs in a shallow roasting pan. Pat turkey dry. Tuck wings under turkey; tie drumsticks together. Place breast side up over onion mixture. Pour wine into pan.
2
Brush turkey with oil and sprinkle with rosemary, salt and pepper. Bake, uncovered, at 325u00b0 for 3-1/2 to 4 hours or until a thermometer reads 180u00b0, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes before slicing.
3
For gravy, strain drippings into a small bowl. In a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add drippings. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with turkey.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
