Servings: persons

20 lb or more Turkey
1 cup white wine
1 cup orange juice
1 turkey neck
6 tbsp oil ( whatever you prefer)
4 medium potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
8 celery ribs coarsely chopped
4 carrots peeled and cut into chunks
2 large onions sliced and chopped
4 can 14 1/2 oz. each chicken broth
4 -12 oz. cans of beer your choice I prefer Budweiser.
2 tbsp seasoning and browning sauce I usually add more though.Such as Gravymaster.
4 cup pan drippings from turkey when done.
1 a couple extra cans of chicken broth in case the turkey needs more liquid during cooking

1
prepare turkey as usual with whatever seasoning and stuffing you do but then pour wine and orange juice over it.
2
Cook turkey according to package instructions.
3
if more liquid is needed during cooking add extra chicken broth.
4
Gravy: heat oil in a large stockpot over medium heat( this recipe makes 10- 11 cups) add pototoes , celery, carrots, and onion.
5
Cook until veggies start to soften about 10- 20 min.stirring occasionally.
6
add 4 cans chicken broth , beer and turkey neck.
7
Bring to boil.
8
Reduce heat to low simmer 1 hour .
9
Remove turkey neck.
10
Stir in seasoning and browning sauce.
11
Continue simmering until the veggies begin to fall apart about 1 more hour.Use potato masher to help mash veggies.
12
when turkey is done get 4 cups of pan drippings .
13
I use a gravy / fat separator to get the fat out.
14
or you could put into a measuring cup wait 5 min and skim off fat.
15
after that is done add drippings to the gravy.
16
cook 30 min.
17
more.
18
push gravy through a fine sieve ( definitely a 2 person job).
19
at this point if tje gravy is not as thick as you like you can thicken it however you want.
20
I usually just add a couple packs of turkey or chicken gravy mix.
21
make sure to stir them in a little cold water first before adding and to stir constantly when you add to avoid little lumps.
22
don't forget to bring the gravy back up to a boil for about 5 min until its thicker if you use that way and stir constantly.
23
this recipe makes about 20-half cup servings.
24
a lot of time thats why I only make it once a year.
25
But it does taste just like my great- grandmothers recipe.
26
found this recipe in a magazine at least 10 years ago been making it every year since.
