400-Clove Garlic Turkey From the Stinking Ros

Yield:
12 Servings

Categories:
Poultry




Ingredients:





     1    Turkey


     4 oz Butter


     2 oz Olive oil


     1 c  Sage, fresh; chopped


     2 tb Garlic cloves, crushed


          Salt


          Pepper


     2 lb Garlic cloves; peeled


     2 c  Wine, white


     2 c  Stock, chicken


   1/2 c  Flour






 Turkey stock may be substituted for chicken stock, if available.


 


 Clean and wash the turkey and pat dry with a paper towel. Loosen the skin


 of the breast and rub the turkey under the skin with the sage and chopped


 garlic. Season the turkey inside and out with salt and pepper and remaining


 sage. Place turkey in a large roasting pan, preferably on a rack. Roast the


 turkey at 350 degrees, basting every twenty minutes with the melted butter


 and olive oil combined.


 


 An hour and half before the turkey will be finished, add the 400 garlic


 cloves to the bottom of the roasting pan. Continue to baste the turkey and


 at the same time stir the cloves at the bottom of the pan. Then the turkey


 is done, remove it from the pan. Drain the drippings into a small sauce


 pan, reserving the garlic in the roasting pan. Place the roasting pan on a


 burner over medium-high heat. Add white wine and stock. Bring to a boil,


 stirring with a wisk to mash the roasted garlic cloves.


 


 Place the saucepan with the drippings over medium heat and with a whip add


 the flour to form a roux. Add the roux to the garlic gravy a little at a


 time until it reaches the desired thickness. Carve the turkey and serve


 with the 400-clove garlic gravy, accompnied by garlic mashed potatoes.


 


 This popular North Beach restaurant claims that it "seasons its garlic with


 food."  You'll see what they mean when you look at the list of ingredients.
