1 turkey of approximately 6 kg, cleaned and thawed with giblets
2 tablespoons of coarse salt
2 onions cut into quarters
6 cloves of garlic
2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped into quarters
6 sprigs of fresh thyme
6 leaves of fresh sage
1/2 cup (chá) of melted butter
3 cups of apple cider
2 cups of chicken broth
1/4 cup (chá) of all-purpose flour
Black pepper to taste
Season the inside of the turkey with salt and black pepper
Stuff with an onion, garlic, bell peppers, thyme, and sage
Tie the legs and flip the wingtips, securing them to the loose skin around the neck
Brush the turkey with butter and season with salt and black pepper
Transfer to a roasting pan and reserve
Mix the giblets (minus the fat) with the remaining onion and herbs
Spread them in the roasting pan alongside the turkey and baste with 1 1/2 cups of apple cider and 1 cup of chicken broth
Roast in a medium oven for approximately three hours, basting occasionally, and brush with the remaining apple cider during that time
When the turkey is done, carefully turn it over to allow the juices from the cavity to flow into the roasting pan
Transfer the turkey to a serving platter and cover it with aluminum foil
Let it rest for 30 minutes before carving
Prepare the gravy
Remove the solids from the roasting pan and deglaze the pan with hot water
Place the roasting pan over low heat and let it simmer
With the help of a wooden spoon, scrape off any stuck-on food from the bottom of the pan
At this point, dissolve the flour in chicken broth, pour into the pan, and stir for five minutes
Check the seasoning and add warm water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency
Serve with the turkey.
