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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- 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.
- Prepare the giblets for the basting liquid. Bring to a boil and simmer the entire time you for basting. Add more water as needed.
- Meat Mixture: melt butter & brown veal, pork; cool and add to bread crumbs, combine > (bowl #3).
- Make the DRESSING:.
- Prep Bowl of Fruits : Combine all ingredients noted above for dressing.
- Prep Bowl of Seasonings : Combine all ingredients noted above.
- Prep Bowl of Breadcrumbs and COOKED meat mixture.
- In a VERY large bowl combine ingredients from all three bowls listed above.
- Mix it well. (As Morten said, "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.
- In a separate bowl: Make the PASTE with ingredients listed above. Combine all ingredients for paste in a bowl, adding enough flour to form a thick paste.
- In a large open roasting pan with a rack: Arrange turkey breast side down on a rack sitting in a shallow roasting pan.
- NOTE: Continually add water to the bottom of roasting pan so drips do not smoke and set off your smoke alarm! I don't think Morton had to worry about that, but we sure have have to!
- Preheat oven to 500°.
- Put the turkey in the oven and roast it for 15 minutes, or until browned.
- Turn it breast side up and roast for and additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Now that it's nice and brown, using a pastry or paint brush coat the turkey completely with the paste -- in every nook and cranny.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
- To the simmering basting liquid, continue to add cider and water and reduce until all cider has been added. 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 at least 15 to 20 minutes, before peeling away crust/skin.
- Make gravy as usual.
- Remove the dressing.
- Carve as usual & enjoy!
