How to make Clementine-Salted Turkey with Redeye Gravy

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. Roast turkey until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 74°C, basting occasionally with pan juices, adding more broth to maintain liquid level, and covering loosely with foil if browning too quickly, about 3 3/4 hours. Transfer turkey to platter; tent with foil and let rest 30 to 45 minutes (internal temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees).

Pour juices from roasting pan into large measuring cup. Spoon off fat that rises to surface into 1-cup measuring cup. Add enough Turkey Stock to degreased pan juices to measure 1200ml . If necessary, add enough fat reserved from Turkey Stock to fat from pan juices to measure 120ml .

Heat 120ml fat in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ham and sauté 3 minutes. Whisk in flour; cook 1 minute. Whisk in 1200ml broth mixture and coffee. Boil until gravy is reduced to 4575g , about 15 minutes. Season to taste with pepper. Serve turkey with gravy.
