Turkey Scented with Lemon, Olives, and Garlic
Ingredients
3 lemons
1 large garlic bulb, cloves separated
15 large brine-cured black olives
1 Tbsp (20g) salt (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)
1 tsp (4g) freshly ground pepper
4 sprigs rosemary, needles removed
Directions
Thinly slice the lemons. Coarsely chop the unpeeled garlic. In a
medium-size bowl, combine all ingredients. Place half in the cavity of the turkey. Stuff the
remaining under the skin.
Cook the turkey. Before serving, remove lemon slices and garlic from
under the skin. Combine with pan juices and add a cup or two of stock.
Simmer juices in a small pot over medium heat for 10 minutes. Strain
through a fine-mesh colander. Thicken with a Tbsp or so of cornstarch if you desire.
Season with salt and pepper, and use as a light sauce for the
turkey.
