- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons dried sage
- 2 tablespoons dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 14-pound turkey, boned, cut into 2 breast pieces and 2 leg-thigh pieces
- 3 cups Chardonnay or other dry white wine
- 3 cups (about) canned low-salt chicken broth
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
- 6 tablespoons all purpose flour
- Combine first 5 ingredients in small bowl. Let stand 1 hour. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Preheat oven to 350#176;F. Place carrots, celery and onions in bottom of large roasting pan. Roll leg-thigh pieces of turkey into loaf shapes and tie with string at 1 1/2-inch intervals to hold shape. Rub herb-oil mixture over all turkey pieces. Season turkey with salt and pepper. Place turkey pieces atop vegetables. Pour wine and 1 cup broth around turkey in pan. Bake until leg-thigh pieces register 180°F on thermometer and breast pieces register 170°F on thermometer, basting occasionally with pan juices, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Transfer turkey to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm.
- Strain pan juices into large glass measuring cup. Spoon fat from pan juices. Add enough remaining broth to measure 6 cups liquid. Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in pan juices and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened to sauce consistency, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove string from leg-thigh pieces. Slice all turkey pieces. Arrange slices on platter; serve, passing gravy separately.
