I think this recipe came from Cooking Light. The herbs give the turkey a great flavor.
1 (12 pound) fresh or frozen turkey, thawed.
2 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
3 teaspoons chopped fresh chives, divided
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme divided
1 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
Cooking spray
2 3/4 cups fat free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided
1/3 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon fresh parsley
2 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
3 teaspoons chopped fresh chives, divided
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme divided
1 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
Cooking spray
2 3/4 cups fat free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided
1/3 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon fresh parsley
- Preheat oven to 350
- Remove and discard giblets and neck from turkey. Rinse turkey with cold water; pat dry. Trim excess fat. Starting at neck cavity, loosen ski from breast and drumsticks by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat. Combine sage, 2 teaspoons chives, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 1 teaspoon parsley in a small bowl. Rub sage mixture under loosened skin and into body cavity. Tie ends of legs with cord. Lift wing tips up and over back; tuck under bird
- Place turkey on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Insert meat thermometer into meaty part of thigh, making sure not to touch bone. Bake at 350 for 3 hours or until thermometer registers 180 degrees. ((Cover turkey loosely with foil if it gets too brown.) Remove turkey from oven. Cover loosely with foil; let stand at least 10 minutes.
- Place a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag inside a 2-cup glass measure. Pour drippings from pan into bag; let stand 10 minutes (fat will rise to the top). Seal bag; carefully snip off 1 bottom corner of bag. Drain drippings into a medium saucepan, stopping before fat layer reaches opening; discard fat. Stir 2 1/2 cups broth and sherry into drippings in saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.
- Combine 1/4 cup broth and flour in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Stir into sherry mixture; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir in 2 tablespoon parsley, 1 teaspoon chives, and 1 teaspoon thyme. Serve sauce with turkey. Yield: 12 servings(serving size 6 oz. turkey and 1/4 cup sauce).
