American 20 Mins Prep · 60 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7.
- Zest the lemons and orange.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon and orange juice, 1 tsp of sea salt, peppercorns, fennel seeds, bay leaves and raw sugar to a small bowl and toss to combine. Rub the dry brine all over the turkey. Place the turkey in the fridge, uncovered, for 5-6 hours.
- Rinse the dry brine off the turkey and pat dry with paper towel. Place it on a rack set in a large roasting dish, breast side up. Stuff the onion, garlic and herbs in the cavity of the turkey.
- Working from the neck end of the turkey, gently loosen the skin from the breasts and rub 50g of butter under the skin and all over the outside.
- Truss the turkey. Pour the stock into the bottom of the tray. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until the internal temperature is 75°C.
- To make the glaze, place the Muscovado sugar, vinegar and smooth orange juice in a small pot and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook until syrupy. Take off the heat and whisk in the rest of the butter and 1/2 tsp of sea salt.
- Pour out the stock from the bottom of the roasting tray and return the turkey to the oven to roast for a further 40-45 minutes, brushing with the glaze every 15 minutes. Remove the turkey from the oven and brush with the glaze. Roast for 15-20 minutes.
- Transfer to a clean platter and allow to rest for 30 minutes before carving.
- Serve with curly parsley.
