Preparation

Step 1

Submerge turkey breast-down in a tub containing 1 1/2 gallons water mixed with 1 1/2 cups coarse (kosher) salt and 6 packets sugar substitute. Refrigerate 6 hours. Discard brine and pat turkey dry.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place half of the vegetables in turkey cavity; scatter remaining vegetables on bottom of a roasting pan. Tie legs together with cotton twine. Arrange bird breast-down on rack in pan. Pour 1 cup water into pan. Roast turkey 45 minutes.

Baste turkey with pan juices. Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees; roast for 1 1/2 hours more, basting every 30 minutes, (add an extra 1/2 cup water to pan if necessary).

Carefully turn turkey over with oven mitts, so it is breast-side up. Brush breast with butter. Roast an additional 30 minutes. Turkey is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the inner thigh reads 175 degrees. Transfer turkey to a large carving board with a trench to catch juices. Remove all vegetables and discard. Cover loosely with foil. Let rest for 20 to 30 minutes before carving.

While turkey is resting; prepare gravy: Pour excess fat from roasting pan. Place pan on two stove burners on medium. Stir in ThickenThin Not/Starch, until dissolved. Pour in chicken broth and water; bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits on bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until mixture thickens.
