    Spatchcock Turkey and Gravy

    Doing my part for Christmas dinner tonight.

    I'm prepping a spatchcock turkey on a bed of aromatic vegetables & herbs, with a awesome gravy.
    Spatchcock is cutting the backbone out and flattening the bird for quicker and more even cooking.
    Bird is prepped, pics to come before it goes in the oven.






    Bed is made for the bird.
    Fresh thyme, Fresh rosemary, bay leaves, onion, carrots, celery and olive oil.
    Cook at 375-450', the more heat the faster it cooks and it'll still cook evenly.
    Cooking time is 1.5-2hrs.




    Gravy
    Back, neck and gizzard chopped and browned with thyme/rosemary
    Add onion, carrot, celery & garlic and saute with meat
    Add chicken stock, Soy sauce, Worchestire sauce and Fish sauce, salt & pepper
    Simmer for about 45min
    Make a roux
    Strain stock, add roux and cook to desired thickness.

    One of the great things about making gravy this way is getting to eat all the meat off the back &neck after straining the broth off.

    Delicious!
