TO COOK THE TURKEY:

FOR THE TURKEY STOCK:

While the turkey is roasting, in a large saucepan add the turkey back, onion, celery, carrot, black peppercorns, kosher salt, and bay leaf. Cover with 4-5 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Place the lid on the pan so it’s slightly askew and steam can escape. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook for an additional 20 minutes.

Remove the turkey back from the pot and set it aside to cool. Strain the turkey stock by placing a strainer over a bowl and pouring the contents through the sieve. Discard the solids and use the turkey stock later to make the gravy.

You can use bits of meat from the turkey back in the gravy if you want. To do this, wait until the turkey back has cooled, and remove any skin and bones. Pick off any meat and transfer it to a small bowl until you’re ready to make the gravy.

FOR THE GRAVY:

SERVE THE MARINATED TURKEY: When the turkey has rested, slice the breasts off the bone and cut them crosswise into 1/4″ thick slices. Arrange on a platter. Serve with gravy.
