Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Stuff the turkey: Place the turkey on a flat surface, season with salt and pepper on the inside and out and stuff the cavity with stuffing if using. Tie the legs closed with a strong piece of kitchen twine or string by wrapping them around and around the drumsticks and pulling them closed like you're tying a shoe.
- Prepare the turkey: Soak 1 large double-layered piece of cheesecloth in the butter. Brush any remaining butter on top of the bird and cover the breast meat with the cheesecloth to keep it moist for the first part of cooking, tucking it into the natural crevices of the bird to keep it in place. Arrange the garlic, carrots and onions in the bottom of a roasting pan and arrange the turkey on the roasting pan right above them. Place the pan in the center of the oven and roast for 20 minutes.
- Lower the oven to 350 degrees F and count about 12 minutes per pound of the turkey weight.
- After about 2 hours, take the turkey out, gently remove the cheesecloth from the top of the breasts, baste the turkey with any pan juices, rotate the pan halfway and return to the oven. Place the turkey neck and the chicken stock in a medium pot and simmer gently on the stove as the turkey finishes cooking. Reduce the stock by about half.
- How do you know when the turkey is done? The temperature of the thigh meat (where the meat is thickest and takes the longest time to cook) should register 160 to 165 degrees F when tested with a thermometer. The thigh juices should also be clear, not pink. When done, remove the bird from the oven, transfer to a flat surface and allow it to rest, breast side down, for 30 minutes. Why rest the turkey breast side down after cooking it breast side up? So the juices flow back through the meat as it sits.
- Make the gravy: Place the roasting pan over the burners of the stove, whisk in the sherry and mustard to the pan and warm it over low heat. Scrape the bottom to get the drippings and tasty bits off the bottom of the pan as the sherry reduces almost completely. Strain the neck out from the stock and add the stock to the roasting pan. Simmer over medium heat, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce further until the mixture starts to thicken. Puree half of the gravy (with the cooked vegetables) in a blender until smooth, and then stir back into the gravy. The vegetables are a natural thickener that is healthier and lighter than the classic cornstarch or flour! Stir in the vinegar. Taste for seasoning. Carve the turkey and serve with the gravy.

Steps:
- Bring 3 1/2 cups water to boil in medium saucepan over high heat. Remove from heat. Add ancho chilies and let stand 1 hour. Drain, reserving 2/3 cup liquid. Combine chilies and reserved liquid in processor; process to smooth thick paste. Using rubber spatula, press ancho paste through strainer; discard solids in strainer. Set aside.
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Arrange tomatoes in single layer in oiled 13x9-inch baking pan. Cut top 1/4 off heads of garlic; discard tops. Arrange garlic, cut side up, in single layer in small glass baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons chicken broth and oil; cover baking dish tightly with foil. Place tomatoes and garlic in oven. Roast tomatoes until softened and lightly browned, turning once, about 30 minutes. Bake garlic until tender when pierced with skewer, about 1 hour. Place tomatoes in processor and blend to smooth purée. Allow garlic to cool, then squeeze garlic cloves from skins into small bowl. Mash garlic with fork to smooth purée. (Ancho paste, tomato purée and garlic purée can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill.)
- Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 325°F. Mix 3 tablespoons garlic purée, butter, chili powder and 1 tablespoon honey in small bowl until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry. Starting at neck end, carefully slide hand between skin and breast meat to loosen skin. Spread all but 2 tablespoons garlic-chili butter under turkey skin. Rub outside of turkey with remaining garlic-chili butter. Place turkey on rack set in large roasting pan. Roast 1 hour. Combine orange juice with 2/3 cup chicken broth. Pour mixture over turkey. Continue roasting until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 180°F, basting with pan juices every 20 minutes and adding more broth as needed if pan juices evaporate, about 3 hours longer. Transfer turkey to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm.
- Add 1 cup chicken broth to pan juices and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Strain pan juices into heavy large saucepan; discard solids in strainer. Spoon fat off top; discard fat. Add ancho paste, tomato purée, remaining garlic purée and 5 1/2 cups Giblet Stock. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add chocolate; stir until smooth. Mix in remaining 1 tablespoon honey. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve gravy alongside turkey.

ROAST TURKEY RUBBED WITH ACHIOTE-CHIPOTLE BUTTER
This holiday centerpiece is from chef John Manion of Mas restaurant. If you wish, substitute homemade turkey stock made with the turkey neck and giblets, carrots, onions, celery and one 7-ounce can of chipotles in adobo for the canned chicken stock called for here. Manion also likes to brine the bird overnight in salted water seasoned with brown sugar, achiote paste and vinegar. Do it if you have time. To brine it, I use about 1 gallon of water. Heat it up and dissolve 1 cup of salt into it, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 3 tablespoons brown sugar and some achiote paste. Let the turkey sit in the brine for 10-12 hours before roasting.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. For the butter mixture, place chipotles and garlic in the food processor; process to a paste. Add the achiote paste, thyme, sage and orange zest; process until combined. Add the butter gradually, pulsing until smooth.
- Rub the bird inside and out with the salt; rub with the butter mixture, working some of the butter between the skin and the breast as well. Place the garlic, onions, orange halves, carrot, celery, thyme, sage and bay leaves inside the turkey cavity. Tie the turkey legs together with butcher's twine.
- Place the bird on a rack in a large roasting pan. Pour enough of the broth into the pan to cover the bottom of the pan by about ½ inch.
- Roast 30 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees. Cook, basting the bird with broth every 30 minutes, adding more broth to the pan as needed. Cook until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165 degrees, about 2½ hours. Transfer turkey to a cutting board; set aside, loosely covered with foil, 30 minutes.
- For the gravy, skim off the fat from the pan drippings; pour fat into a large skillet. Reserve pan drippings in the roasting pan. Heat the fat over medium heat; slowly whisk in flour, whisking until mixture begins to brown and thicken, about 10 minutes. Slowly whisk in all but { cup of the remaining broth.
- Heat mixture to a simmer over medium heat; slowly whisk this mixture into the reserved drippings in the roasting pan; heat. (If the gravy is too thick, add the reserved broth until you reach the desired consistency.) Carve turkey; serve with gravy.
- Note: Achiote paste, made from annatto seeds, is available in Latin American markets.
