Tarragon Roast Turkey With Vermouth Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place oil in a large baking dish. Season turkey tenderloins all over with salt and black pepper and place in baking dish. Arrange potatoes all around turkey and turn to coat with oil. Season potatoes with salt and black pepper. Arrange shallots over potatoes in pan.
• In a small bowl, combine wine, broth, vinegar, and tarragon. Pour mixture over turkey.
• Roast turkey and potatoes 40 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers at least 160 degrees F. Let turkey rest 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices. Serve half of the turkey and potatoes with this meal, with all of the broth from the pan over top. Serve spinach on the side. Reserve remaining turkey and potatoes for additional meals.

Steps:

• Mix 5 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons vermouth, 1 tablespoon tarragon, and garlic in medium saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium-low heat, stirring until butter melts. Simmer for 1 minute. Season mixture with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Before using, stir over low heat until butter melts.)
• Set rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry. Place turkey on rack in large roasting pan. Place reserved turkey parts in roasting pan. Sprinkle turkey inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck wing tips under turkey; tie legs together. Cover turkey breast tightly with foil. Roast 2 hours, lifting foil and brushing entire turkey with some of butter mixture every 30 minutes. Remove foil. Brush turkey with any remaining butter mixture. Reduce heat to 325°F. Continue roasting turkey until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 175°F, about 30 minutes longer. Transfer turkey to platter. Tent loosely with foil; let stand 30 minutes (internal temperature of turkey will increase by 5 to 10 degrees). Reserve pan juices for gravy.
• Remove turkey parts from roasting pan and discard. Pour pan juices into large measuring cup. Spoon off fat. Return pan juices to roasting pan. Add 1 3/4 cups broth, remaining 1/2 tablespoon tarragon, and 3 tablespoons butter. Position roasting pan directly over 2 burners set at medium-high heat. Bring mixture to boil, scraping up browned bits. Boil 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to heavy medium saucepan. Add remaining 2/3 cup vermouth. Whisk remaining 1/4 cup broth and cornstarch in small bowl until smooth. Add to gravy mixture. Bring to boil, whisking constantly. Boil until gravy coats back of spoon thinly, about 8 minutes. Season gravy with salt and pepper. Serve turkey with gravy.

Steps:

• Let the turkey sit at room temperature for about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the packet of neck and giblets from the turkey and set aside. Cut away any fatty pieces near the cavity or neck and discard. Pat the turkey dry inside and out with paper towels and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper inside and out.
• Combine the butter, tarragon, lemon juice, shallot, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl with a rubber spatula. Loosen the skin over the turkey breast and push half of the butter mixture under the skin and over the breast meat. Rub the skin with the rest of the butter mixture. Stuff the cavity with the parsley and lemons. Tie the legs together with twine. Tuck the wings under the body and put the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan.
• Roast until the turkey begins to turn golden, about 25 minutes. Loosely tent the breast with foil, then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Continue roasting, basting with pan drippings every 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh joint reaches about 155 degrees F. Remove the foil and continue roasting until it reaches 165 degrees F, about 30 minutes longer. Transfer the turkey and rack to a cutting board and let rest about 30 minutes.
• Discard the parsley and lemons from the cavity before carving.

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix together paprika and curry powder, and sprinkle on both sides of chicken breasts; cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Place 2 breasts on large sheet of plastic wrap, cover with more plastic and pound with a mallet until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with remaining breasts. (Chicken may be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 12 hours.)
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Season chicken on both sides with salt. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add enough canola oil to film the bottom of pan. Working in batches, without crowding, place breasts smooth side down and let cook until golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Turn and cook for another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in oven.
• Wipe out skillet and return to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and shallot, and sauté for 30 seconds, swirling pan to coat shallot with butter. Add wine, raise heat to medium-high, and cook until wine is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add stock, bring to boil, and cook until reduced and slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir in chopped tarragon, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and any juices that have accumulated on baking sheet. Swirl to melt butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken on a warmed platter, pour sauce over it, and garnish with whole tarragon leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Put chicken in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add oil, tarragon, thyme, and parsley, and toss to coat. Transfer chicken and herbs to a 15 1/2-by-13-inch roasting pan; do not crowd. Scatter garlic in pan. Cook until chicken skin is golden and crisp and juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a sharp knife, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Transfer chicken and garlic to a serving dish, and cover loosely with aluminum foil; set aside. Skim fat from pan with a spoon, and discard. Set roasting pan over medium-high heat on stove. Add vermouth, and cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until reduced by about half, about 4 minutes. Stir in stock. Bring to a simmer; continue to cook until reduced by about half, about 2 minutes more. Pour through a fine sieve into a medium bowl, and discard solids. Skim fat with a spoon, and discard. Serve sauce in a gravy boat alongside chicken and garlic.

Steps:

• Make turkey:

• Set rack at lowest position in oven and preheat to 375°F. Place small rack in center of large roasting pan. Melt 1/4 cup butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion and carrot; saut until dark brown, about 12 minutes. Sprinkle vegetables and turkey neck pieces around rack in pan.
• Stir remaining 6 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons tarragon in heavy small saucepan until butter melts. Rinse turkey inside and out; pat dry with paper towels. Place turkey on rack in pan. Starting at neck end, slide hand between skin and breast meat to loosen skin. Brush 3 tablespoons tarragon butter over breast meat under skin. If stuffing turkey, spoon stuffing loosely into main cavity. Brush remaining tarragon butter over outside of turkey. Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper. Tuck wing tips under turkey; tie legs together to hold shape.
• Roast turkey 45 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F; add 1 cup broth to pan. Cover turkey loosely with foil. Roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 180°F., adding 1 cup broth and basting with pan juices every 1/2 hour and brushing with 1/3 cup glaze twice during last 2 hours, about 4 1/4 hours longer if unstuffed or 4 3/4 hours longer if stuffed.
• Transfer turkey to platter. Tent with foil; let stand 1/2 hour. Reserve pan juices.
• Make gravy:
• Mix 1/2 cup glaze and flour in small bowl to blend. Strain pan juices into large measuring cup, pressing on solids; spoon off fat. Add enough broth to measure 6 cups.
