Steps:
- Select a turkey that is plump and meaty with smooth, moist-looking skin. The skin should be creamy colored. The cut ends of the bones should be pink to red in color.
- If the turkey is frozen, thaw it either slowly in the refrigerator or in cold water or quickly in the microwave, following the manufacturer's directions. A turkey weighing 8 to 12 pounds will thaw in about 2 days in the refrigerator. A turkey weighing 20 to 24 pounds will thaw in about 5 days in the refrigerator. A whole turkey can be safely thawed in cold water. Leave the turkey in its original wrap, free from tears or holes. Place in cold water, allowing 30 minutes per pound for thawing, and change the water often.
- Remove the package of giblets (gizzard, heart and neck), if present, from the neck cavity of the turkey, and discard. Rinse the cavity, or inside of the turkey, with cool water; pat dry with paper towels. Rub the cavity of turkey lightly with salt if desired, but do not salt the cavity if you will be stuffing the turkey.
- Stuff the turkey just before roasting--not ahead of time. Fill the wishbone area (the neck) with stuffing first. Fasten the neck skin to the back of the turkey with a skewer. Fold the wings across the back so the tips are touching. Fill the body cavity lightly with stuffing; do not pack the stuffing because it will expand during roasting. Tuck the drumsticks under the band of skin at the tail, or tie or skewer the drumsticks to the tail.
- Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush with melted butter or margarine. It is not necessary to add water or to cover the turkey. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of thigh and does not touch bone. Follow Timetable for approximate roasting time. Place a tent of aluminum foil loosely over the turkey when it begins to turn golden. When two-thirds done, cut the band or remove the skewer holding the drumsticks; this will allow the interior part of the thighs to cook through.
- Roast until the thermometer reads 165°F (for a whole turkey) and drumsticks move easily when lifted or twisted. Thermometer inserted in center of stuffing should read165°F. When the turkey is done, remove it from the oven and let it stand for 15 minutes for easiest carving. Keep turkey covered with aluminum foil so it will stay warm.

Steps:
- For the tangerine gastrique: Combine the tangerine juice and vinegar in a medium nonreactive saucepan over high heat. Cook until reduced by half. Add the honey and continue cooking until reduced to 2 cups. Stir in the tangerine zest and salt and pepper to taste, and transfer to a bowl to cool. Reserve 1/4 cup for the gravy and use the rest for the turkey.
- For the turkey a la tangerine: Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 1 hour before roasting. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Brush the entire turkey with oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cavity of the turkey with salt and pepper and fill with the parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme and half of the carrots, celery and onions.
- Put 3 cups of the chicken stock in a medium saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
- Place the remaining carrots, celery and onions on the bottom of a large roasting pan. Set the turkey on top of the vegetables and roast until lightly golden brown, about 45 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue roasting, basting with the warm chicken stock every 15 minutes. When the breasts register 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, begin basting the turkey with some of the gastrique. Continue roasting and basting with the gastrique until the breasts register 160 degrees F, 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Remove the turkey from the oven and transfer to a baking sheet, keeping the oven at 350 degrees F. Remove the legs and transfer to a roasting pan. Tent the turkey loosely with foil and let rest 30 minutes before slicing.
- Strain the pan drippings into a bowl and discard the solids. Add enough stock to make 4 cups liquid. In a pot over medium-high heat, bring the liquid to a simmer. Transfer the simmering liquid to the roasting pan with the legs, cover with foil and braise in the oven until tender, about 1 hour.
- Remove the legs from the braising liquid and transfer to a baking sheet, reserving the braising liquid for the gravy. Switch the oven to broil. Brush the legs with some of the gastrique and place under the broiler until glazed and crispy, about 8 minutes.
- For the gravy: In a saucepan, combine the turkey leg braising liquid with enough warm stock to make 7 cups and keep warm over low heat.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the butter and oil until the oil begins to shimmer. Add the carrots, celery and onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Whisk in the flour and cook until lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the wine and cook until reduced by two-thirds. Whisk in the hot stock and black peppercorns and cook until thickened. Bring to a simmer and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the flour taste has been cooked out and the gravy coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 8 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan, bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced. Add the reserved 1/4 cup tangerine gastrique, the orange liqueur and pink peppercorns and cook for an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the tangerine zest. Serve the gravy alongside the turkey.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, basil, Italian seasoning, black pepper and salt. Set aside.
- Wash the turkey inside and out; pat dry. Remove any large fat deposits. Loosen the skin from the breast. This is done by slowly working your fingers between the breast and the skin. Work it loose to the end of the drumstick, being careful not to tear the skin.
- Using your hand, spread a generous amount of the rosemary mixture under the breast skin and down the thigh and leg. Rub the remainder of the rosemary mixture over the outside of the breast. Use toothpicks to seal skin over any exposed breast meat.
- Place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan. Add about 1/4 inch of water to the bottom of the pan. Roast in the preheated oven 3 to 4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the bird reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
