To make this dish, you will need a 12-14 pound turkey, 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1 tablespoon of dried thyme, 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary, 1 tablespoon of dried sage, 1 onion, 1 carrot, 1 celery stalk, 4 cups of chicken broth, and 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour.
To start, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Rinse the turkey and pat it dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the turkey, including under the skin and in the cavity.
Next, chop the onion, carrot, and celery and place them in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the turkey on top of the vegetables and place the pan in the oven. Roast the turkey for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the turkey is cooking, make the gravy. Remove the turkey from the roasting pan and place it on a cutting board to rest. Pour the pan drippings into a measuring cup and let them settle for a few minutes. Skim off the fat and discard it. Add enough chicken broth to the pan drippings to make 4 cups of liquid.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is golden brown. Slowly whisk in the pan drippings and chicken broth mixture, stirring constantly. Cook the gravy for 5-10 minutes, or until it thickens.
To serve, carve the turkey and arrange it on a platter. Pour the gravy over the turkey and serve immediately.
