Chef John's Boneless Whole Turkey Recipe

Ingredients

1 (15 pound) whole turkey

boned

kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste

3 cups prepared stuffing

or more to taste

2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

or more to taste

Stuffed Hasselback Turkey Breast

Dinner

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2

Place turkey skin-side down on a work surface and arrange meat with your hands into a flat even surface. Season with salt and black pepper. Press stuffing all over the surface of the meat.

Step 3

Fold long edges of turkey around stuffing into the center of the bird and carefully turn turkey seam-side down. Tie the leg-end of the turkey with kitchen twine to cinch the turkey together. Repeat ties at 2-inch intervals along the length of the turkey ending with a single tie along the length of the turkey. Season with salt and place in a large roasting pan.

Step 4

Roast turkey in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey reads 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer turkey to a platter; remove and discard twine. Let rest until internal temperature increases to 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) about 20 minutes.

Step 5

Place roasting pan over medium-high heat and stir cream into pan drippings. Cook and stir until sauce thickens and reduces 3 to 7 minutes. Pour through a fine mesh sieve into a gravy boat or bowl. Slice turkey crosswise and top slices with gravy.
