Goosecross Cellars Recipe for Syrah
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Wash the turkey well and pat dry inside and out with paper towels.
In a small bowl, blend the butter, orange juice, apple juice, lemon juice, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub the turkey inside and out with the butter. Fill the cavity with the onion, celery, orange, lemon, thyme, sage, garlic, and bay leaves. Truss the turkey tightly and transfer to a rack set in a roasting pan.
Pour 2 cups of stock into the roasting pan. Roast the turkey in the oven for 45 minutes, then baste with 1 cup of the drippings. Roast the turkey for 11/2 hours longer, basting with the pan juices every 20 minutes. Add the remaining 2 cups of stock to the pan and roast the turkey for 2 hours longer, basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices. The turkey is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 170°. Transfer the turkey to a carving board, cover loosely with foil and let rest 20 minutes. Carve the turkey and serve.

Great wine calls for great food and we are passionate about both here at Goosecross. I love to cook and develop new recipes, so I experiment in the kitchen every week, looking for something really delicious and practical. Then, I share it with you!
After so many years of cooking, I'm pleased to say that we have compiled one of the most comprehensive and versatile recipe collections from any winery. I have personally tested each recipe to be sure it's complete, not overly complicated, and won't leave you with too much clean-up.
