Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 turkey (cut into 7 or 8 pieces (see cook's note))
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1/3 cup marsala wine
  • 3 tablespoons cranberry sauce (red currant or raspberry jam)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large roasting pan, coat the turkey pieces with the oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and 2/3 of the fresh herbs. Remove the thighs and the breasts to a separate bowl. Place the drumsticks and wings in the pan skin side down. Add the wine to the pan with the turkey. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the turkey from the oven and turn over the drumsticks and wings. Add the breasts and thighs to the pan, skin side up. Roast 45 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the breast reads 160 degrees. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and tent with foil, any pinkness should fade as the meat rests.
  • Strain the pan juices into a saucepan. Add marsala, jam and the remaining herbs. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer for about 3 minutes, season with salt to taste. Pour juices into a small pitcher for serving. Carve the thighs and breast meat into chunks and arrange the pieces on a platter. Enjoy!
