Recipe: Roasted Elephant Turkey

Since we still have plenty of elephant garlic left and I plan to roast some fo samples and hand out recipes Saturday at the farmers market I'll share one of the recipes here also

Roasted Elephant Turkey

  • Fresh Turkey
  • 1 large Head elephant garlic peeled
  • 1 stick Butter
  • Seasoned Salt
  • Cheese Cloth


Sprinkle Turkey with seasoned salt (inside and out) Melt butter then soak cheese cloth in butter .Stuff peeled Garlic in cavity of turkey. Wrap turkey in cheese cloth. Do not cover turkey with lid. Not necessary to baste. Follow turkey baking time and temperature. Place turkey drippings in a sauce pan add a roasted garlic clove . Mix 1/2 cup flour with 1 1/2 cups warm water in small bowl and whisk until smooth .Stirring constantly add flour mixture to slightly warm drippings . Place pan on med heat and stir constantly until gravy is smooth. Season to taste with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Add water to gravy to achieve desired thickness if needed. Remove cheese cloth while turkey is still warm for easy removal .

You can use regular garlic but elephant adds a lot of flavor and will still make guest who are not fans of garlic happy.
