The holiday season means it's Turkey Time. I could never figure out why so many people wanted to come over...until they confessed it was my recipe for turkey! Gobble, Gobble! I do not stuff the turkey. I make my own stuffing on the side and serve in a festive dish.

Time 4h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (16 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 cup honey
½ cup melted butter
2 teaspoons dried sage leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Rinse the turkey, and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Brush the turkey with olive oil, inside and out.
Mix 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and the thyme in a small bowl, and sprinkle the turkey with the mixture.
Place the turkey on a rack set in a roasting pan, and roast in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
In a bowl, stir together the honey, melted butter, sage, parsley, basil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Brush the turkey with the honey glaze, and return to the oven.
Roast the turkey until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 2 more hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Continue to brush the turkey with the honey glaze frequently as it roasts. Remove the turkey from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped thyme
4 cloves garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 2 1/2-pound skin-on, bone-in turkey breast
1 pound cippolini, peeled and halved
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, with a rack in the position third from the top and another just below it.
Combine 4 tablespoons of the butter, 1 tablespoon of the parsley, the thyme and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the turkey, skin-side up, on a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Rub the herb butter over the turkey and underneath the skin. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
Toss together the cippolini, vinegar and oil in a 1-quart ovenproof baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the turkey on the higher oven rack and the cippolini on the rack below. Roast until the cippolini are cooked through and tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey registers 155 degrees F, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Stir the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into the cippolini. Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
To serve, cut the turkey off the bone and slice thinly. Divide among plates and top with the cippolini. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
