Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. or as high as it will go -- for at least 1 hour.
- Chop fine the reserved turkey fat. In a small saucepan set over moderate heat combine the reserved fat with 1/2 cup of the water, bring to a boil and simmer until all the water has evaporated and only clear fat and small pieces of solid remain. Reserve fat for stuffing.
- Season the inside of the turkey with salt and pepper. Rub the skin all over with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Make the gravy: In a saucepan set over moderate heat combine ingredients for the gravy, bring to a boil and simmer while preparing the dressing.
- Make the dressing: prepare and combine ingredients in bowl no. 1; prepare and combine ingredients from bowl no. 2; and prepare and combine ingredients from bowl no. 3. In a large bowl combine ingredients from all three bowls. Mix it well. "Mix it with your hands. Mix it
- until your forearms and wrists ache. Then mix it some more. Now toss it enough so that it isn't any longer a doughy mass."
- Loosely stuff the turkey. Stuff the neck cavity and sew closed the openings. Tie legs together.
- Make the paste: combine all ingredients for paste in a bowl, adding enough flour to form a thick paste.
- Arrange turkey breast side down on a rack wrapped in foil sitting in a shallow roasting pan. Brush foil with oil.
- Put the turkey in the oven and roast it for 15 minutes, or until browned. Turn it breast side up and roast for 15 minutes more. With a pastry or paint brush coat the turkey completely with the paste -- in every nook and cranny. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
- To simmering gravy add cider and water. Remove from heat but keep warm on top of stove. (This is your basting liquid.) Roast the bird, basting it frequently, (the original recipe says every 15 minutes) for 4 1/2 to 5 hours, or until an instant meat thermometer reads 180 to 185 in the thigh; 170 in the breast and 160 in the stuffing.
- Let rest 15 to 20 minutes, before peeling away crust.
- Suggested drink: Meridian Merlot 1994.
- For the paste: 12 egg yolks 2 tablespoons of Colman's mustard 6 cloves garlic, minced 6 tablespoons onion juice 1 tablespoon salt 3/4 teaspoon Cayenne, or to taste 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour, or enough to make a paste 3 cups cider 1 cup water;
MORTON THOMPSON TURKEY
A family tradtiion since 2005! In my opinion, there is no other way to make a turkey or dressing. It is labor intensive with a very long list of ingredients but well worth the effort. If you allow your husband to take on this task, it's not labor intensive at all. Just ask me! Per Morton himself, "It will appear as though the turkey is blackened, but don't let that scare you. Simply peel away the "crust/skin" that appears to be overdone." This is INCREDIBLE and very moist. ENJOY! Baking times will vary depending on the weight of the bird. 1/2013 During a discussion in the Q&A thread it was brought to my attention that perhaps 2 egg yolks was not correct. I did some googling and found that recipes can vary using anywhere from 2-12 egg yolks. See this thread if you have questions: http://www.food.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=386621 I have been using 2 egg yolks for years and it works well.

BLACK LACQUERED TURKEY
Using 39 ingredients and a precise culinary methodology, Martha's friend and banker Jane Heller's recipe creates a juicy roasted bird beneath a dramatic black lacquered crust. Remove the coating with tweezers before serving, or allow each guest to remove it from his or her portion, to reveal the savory mahogany skin beneath.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Place a 15 x 10 1/4-inch roasting rack in a heavy 16 x 13-inch roasting pan; alternatively, use two large disposable aluminum roasting pans set one inside the other for added strength.
- Stuff the turkey with the stuffing. Using a trussing needle and butcher's string, sew the sides of the body cavity together, stitching from side to side, to enclose the stuffing. To truss the turkey, tuck wings under body. Tuck neck flap under body to secure; then center a 3-foot length of butcher's string over the neck flap. Bring the ends of the string under wings, over drumsticks, wrap each end around a drumstick, pull drumsticks together, and then tie ends of the string into a bow. (The bow makes it easier to remove the trussing string after roasting.)
- Brush the turkey breast with melted butter. Place the turkey breast side down on the rack and brush with remaining melted butter. Place breast side down in the oven and roast until brown all over, about 30 minutes. Remove the turkey from the oven and reduce temperature to 325 degrees. While the oven cools, brush the hot turkey with the paste and allow it to set until dry, 5 to 7 minutes; turn it over on the rack and brush the breast side with paste. Place the coated turkey in the oven. Using a turkey baster, baste with basting liquid.
- Continue basting the turkey every 15 minutes with basting liquid throughout the roasting process, about 7 hours (allowing about 20 minutes per pound). Results yield a turkey with a dark, black coating over the skin that can be removed with tweezers before serving to reveal succulent, moist skin and meat.
