Oprema:

1. Za ćuretinu:

- Pleh za pečenje

- Termometar

- Oštar nož

- Posuda

2. Za nadev ćuretine:

- Serpa

3. Za sos od ćuretine

- Činija

Priprema:

ZA ĆURETINU

0. Odmrznite ćuretinu - ako koristite zamrznutu curetinu (videti napomene ispod).  Odmrznite je najmanje 2 do 3 dana pre toga.

0b. Izvadite ćuretinu iz frižidera 1 sat pre začinjavanja i punjenja.

Takođe, ne zaboravite da izvadite puter iz frižidera, možda čak i ranije.

1. Pripremite ćuretinu - uklonite iznutrice i vrat, koji se nalaze u velikoj šupljini, a ponekad i u manjoj šupljini.

1b. Osušite ćuretinu spolja papirnim ubrusom. Uklanjanje viška vlage osigurava dodatnu hrskavu kožicu.

Ne perite ćuretinu u sudoperi ili kadi**.

2. Začinite i napunite unutrašnjost ćuretine - pomešajte so i biber. Začinite unutrašnjost ćuretine solju i biberom, obilno. Dodajte isečen crni luk, limun i sveže grančice biljaka.

Nemojte prepuniti. Ostavite malo prostora da vruć vazduh može da cirkuliše.

3. Napravite puter sa začinskim biljem - pomešajte omekšali puter, beli luk, so, biber, ruzmarin i timijan.

4. Nežno olabavite kožu ćurke uvlačeći prste ispod. 

5. Zatim utrljajte oko ⅓ putera sa začinskim biljem između kože i ćurećih prsa.

6. Utrljajte preostali puter sa začinskim biljem po celoj spoljašnjosti ćurke.

7. Stavite crni luk, celer i šargarepu u pleh za pečenje.

8. Možete staviti rešetku iz rerne preko povrća, a zatim staviti ćurku na rešetku ili možete staviti ćurku preko povrća.

9. Ugurajte vrhove krila ispod ćurke da biste sprečili da izgore.

10. Zagrejte rernu na 160°C (325°F). 

11. Stavite ćurku u rernu i pecite oko 15 minuta po 450 g ili dok unutrašnja temperatura ne dostigne 71°C (160°F).

Pratite ćurku nakon što je oko 75% gotova, a zatim proveravajte svakih 10 minuta.

11a. Ako primetite da koža prebrzo potamni, možete staviti aluminijumsku foliju preko.

11b. Da biste proverili temperaturu, postavite termometar na najdeblji deo butine ili grudi.

12. Ostavite ćurku da odstoji 30 minuta pre sečenja.

Ovo omogućava da se sok preraspodeli, što će dovesti do ukusno sočne ćurke.

13. Da biste ćurku održali toplom, možete je pokriti aluminijumskom folijom.

14. Isecite ćurku.

15. Sačuvajte sok iz tiganja da biste napravili sos za ćurku.

Napomene:

0. Veličina ćurke.

Opšte pravilo je 450 g do 700 g ćuretine po osobi. Kupite ćuretinu nedelju dana pre dana Zahvalnosti.

1. Odmrznite ćuretinu. Potrebno je oko 24 sata po 2,25 kg ćuretine da se pravilno odmrzne.

2. Ne perite ćuretinu!!!

Kontaminiraćete sudoperu ili kadu i napraviti nered. Sve bakterije na ćuretini će biti uništene u rerni tokom pečenja.

3. Približno vreme pečenja ćuretine (15 minuta po 450 g):

- Za ćuretinu od 4,5 kg do 6,8 kg: 2 sata i 30 minuta do 3 sata i 45 minuta

- Za ćuretinu od 6,8 kg do 9 kg: 3 sata i 45 minuta do 5 sati

Predlog: mozete posluziti uz krompir pire, sos od brusnica, pire od batata, slozenac od batata, pire karfiola, musaku od boranije, glaziranu sargarepu, mimoza salatu.

8. U šerpu dodajte 1 šolju tecnosti.

Pomešajte 1 kašiku kukuruznog skroba sa 1 kašikom vode.

Nastavite kuvanje dok se sos ne zgusne do željene gustine.

15. Začinite solju i biberom po ukusu.

16. Čuvajte preostali sos u zatvorenoj posudi u frižideru 2 do 3 dana.

Napomene:

Za podgrevanje, sipajte sos u šerpu i dodajte nekoliko kašika ćurećeg ili povrtnog bujona ili vode da ga razredite. Zagrevajte ga na srednje niskoj vatri dok se ne zagreje, oko 15 minuta.


ZA SOS BEZ IZNUTRICA

Sastojci: 230 g putera, 60 g univerzalnog brašna plus 3 kašike, 1⁄2 kašičice crnog bibera (sveže mlevenog), 4 šolje soka od tiganja.

4 Recipes: How to bake a turkey in the oven, How to make gravy for turkey with giblets, How to make gravy for turkey without giblets, How to make stuffing for turkey.

FOR ROASTED TURKEY 

Ingredients: 4.5 kg to 6.8 kg 10 to 15 pounds) turkey (fresh or frozen*), 1 onion (peeled and quartered),1 lemon (quartered), 1 ½ sprigs fresh rosemary, 1 ½ sprigs fresh thyme, 1 sprig fresh sage, salt and black pepper, for herb butter, 170 g butter (unsalted, room temperature), 5 cloves garlic (minced), ¾ teaspoon salt, ⅓ teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (finely chopped), for veggies under turkey - 1 onion (peeled and quartered), 3 celery ribs (roughly chopped), 2 carrots (roughly chopped).

Equipment:

For the turkey:

Roasting pan

  • Thermometer 
  • Sharp knife 
  • Platter 

For the turkey stuffing:

  • Casserole 

For the turkey gravy

  • Bowl 

Preparation:

0. Thaw the turkey - if using frozen* (see notes below) turkey, thaw it for at least 2 to 3 days before.

0b. Remove the turkey from the fridge 1 hour before seasoning and stuffing.

Also remember to take out butter from the fridge, maybe even earlier.

1. Prepare turkey - remove giblets and the neck, found in the large cavity and sometimes the smaller neck cavity.

1b. Pat dry outside of the turkey with a paper towel. Removing any extra moisture ensures extra crispy skin.

Do not wash the turkey in the sink or bathtub**.

2. Season and stuff the inside of turkey - mix salt and pepper. Season the cavity - inside of turkey with salt and pepper, generously. Add quartered onion, lemon, and fresh sprigs of herbs.

Do not over stuff. Leave some room so the hot air can circulate.

3. Make herb butter - mix soft butter, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme together.

4. Loosen the skin of the turkey gently by sliding your fingers underneath. 

5. Then rub about ⅓ of the herb butter between the skin and turkey breasts.

6. Rub the remaining herb butter all over outside of the turkey.

7. Place onion, celery and carrots in the roasting pan.

8. You can put an oven rack on top of the veggies and then put the turkey on the rack or you can put the turkey on top of vegetables.

9. Tuck the wing tips under the turkey to prevent them from burning.

10. Preheat your oven to 160 C (325 F).

11. Place the turkey in the oven and roast for about 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 71 C (160 F). 

Keep an eye on the turkey after it's about 75% done, then check every 10 minutes.

11a. If you notice the skin browning too quickly, you can place aluminum foil on top.

11b. To verify the temperature, place a thermometer at the thickest part of the thigh or breast.

12. Let the turkey rest for 30 minutes before carving. 

This allows the juices to redistribute, making for a deliciously juicy turkey. 

13. To keep the turkey warm, you can cover the turkey with aluminum foil on the counter.

14. Carve the turkey. 

15. Save the juices from the pan to make turkey gravy.

Notes: 

0. Size of the turkey. 

The general rule of thumb is 1 to 1 ½ pounds of turkey per person. Buy your turkey a week before Thanksgiving.

1. Thaw the turkey. 

It takes about 24 hours per 2.25 kg (5 pounds) of turkey to properly thaw.

2. Do not wash the turkey!!!

You will contaminate your sink or bathtub and make a mess. Any bacteria on the turkey will get killed in the oven while baking.

3. Approximate time for roasting turkey (15 minutes per 450 g (one pound)):

- For a 4.5 kg to 6.8 kg (10 to 15 pounds) turkey: 2 hrs 30 minutes to 3 hrs 45 minutes

6. Let the drippings sit for a minute, allowing the fat to naturally separate from the rest of the drippings. 

The fat will rise to the top, leaving the drippings and liquid on the bottom.  

7. Use a large ladle to remove most of the fat from the top of the drippings. 

8. In a saucepan add 1 cup of drippings to the saucepan.

If it's still thin, add a cornstarch mixed with water.

Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water.

Continue cooking until gravy thickens to desired consistency.

15. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

5. Add black pepper.

6. Add flour constantly whisk for about 3 minutes over low heat (2).

7. Slowly add turkey drippings whisking constantly over medium-low heat (3) until bubbly and thickened, about 3 minutes.

8. When completely cooled, keep in a sealed container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.


FOR STUFFING THE TURKEY
