chef john's boneless whole turkey

Ingredients

  • Servings: 20
  • 1 (15 pound) whole turkey, boned
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 cups prepared stuffing, or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, or more to taste

Recipe

    Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 50 mins

    Ready Time: 2 hrs 10 mins

  • preheat oven to 450 degrees f (230 degrees c).
  • place turkey, skin-side down, on a work surface and arrange meat with your hands into a flat, even surface. season with salt and black pepper. press stuffing all over the surface of the meat.
  • fold long edges of turkey around stuffing into the center of the bird and carefully turn turkey seam-side down. tie the leg-end of the turkey with kitchen twine to cinch the turkey together. repeat ties at 2-inch intervals along the length of the turkey, ending with a single tie along the length of the turkey. season with salt and place in a large roasting pan.
  • roast turkey in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. reduce heat to 325 degrees f (165 degrees c) and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey reads 155 degrees f (68 degrees c), about 1 1/2 hours. transfer turkey to a platter; remove and discard twine. let rest until internal temperature increases to 165 degrees f (74 degrees c), about 20 minutes.
  • place roasting pan over medium-high heat and stir cream into pan drippings. cook and stir until sauce thickens and reduces, 3 to 7 minutes. pour through a fine mesh sieve into a gravy boat or bowl. slice turkey crosswise and top slices with gravy.
