Clementine-Salted Turkey with Redeye Gravy

This citrus-infused roast turkey offers a vibrant twist on a traditional centrepiece. By dry-brining the bird overnight in a fragrant clementine-salt rub, you ensure the meat remains exceptionally succulent while the skin reaches a perfect, golden crispness. The addition of zesty clementines and onions in the cavity provides a delicate aromatic base that elevates the natural flavours of the poultry without being overpowering.

Served with a sophisticated redeye gravy, this dairy-free dish brings a rich, savoury depth to your table. The gravy uses freshly brewed coffee and salty ham to create a dark, glossy sauce that perfectly balances the bright citrus notes of the turkey. It is an impressive choice for a festive gathering or a special Sunday roast, offering a memorable balance of sweet, salty, and bitter notes that will delight your guests.

Rub salt and clementine peel together in small bowl. Sprinkle some seasoned salt in main and neck cavities of turkey. Place turkey in large roasting pan. Reserve 2 teaspoons clementine salt for roasting; sprinkle remaining salt all over turkey. Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate turkey overnight.

Rinse turkey thoroughly inside and out; pat dry. Rinse large roasting pan and wipe dry. Place rack in pan; place turkey on rack and let stand uncovered at room temperature 1 hour.

Set rack at lowest position in oven and preheat to 191°C. Tuck turkey wing tips under. Cut 6 clementines into quarters (reserve remaining clementines for another use). Stuff cut clementines and onions into main cavity. Tie legs together loosely. Spread butter all over turkey. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon pepper and reserved 2 teaspoons clementine salt. Pour 725ml chicken broth into pan.

Roast turkey 45 minutes; baste with pan juices. Reduce oven temperature to 177°C.
