This roast turkey with port gravy is a sophisticated take on a classic centrepiece, offering deep, savoury flavours and a perfectly succulent finish. By preparing a homemade stock using the giblets and simmering it with fresh aromatics, you create a foundation of flavour that shop-bought alternatives simply cannot match. The addition of tawny Port to the gravy provides a subtle sweetness and a beautiful mahogany colour that elevates the entire meal.

As a high-protein option, this dish is ideal for a traditional Sunday roast or a festive gathering where you want to impress without unnecessary complexity. The inclusion of a tart McIntosh or Golden Delicious apple in the cavity ensures the meat remains moist while infusing it with a delicate fragrance. Serve this alongside seasonal roasted vegetables and crisp potatoes for a balanced, heart-healthy meal the whole family will enjoy.

How to make Roast Turkey with Port Gravy

Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add neck, heart, and gizzard, then celery and onion; sauté until deep brown, stirring often, about 18 minutes. Add 1450ml water and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 1 1/2 hours. Strain stock into large measuring cup and reserve; discard solids. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly, cover, and chill.

Place turkey on rack in large roasting pan. Mix onion, apple, 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoons pepper, and thyme in bowl. Spoon mixture into main turkey cavity. Tuck wing tips under; tie legs together loosely to hold shape. Rub oil over turkey; sprinkle with 3 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic; chill.

Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 204°C. Roast turkey uncovered 45 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 191°C. Roast turkey 1 hour. Turn pan around; pour 240ml turkey stock over. Roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 79°C, about 1 hour longer. Transfer turkey to platter; tent loosely with foil and let stand 30 minutes (internal temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees). Reserve pan juices for gravy.
