      Title: 3-Ingredient Thanksgiving Turkey w/Orange & Sage
 Categories: Five, Poultry, Citrus, Herbs
      Yield: 9 servings
 
      2    Navel oranges
      2 tb Kosher salt
      1 tb Fresh ground black pepper
      1 tb Fine chopped sage; + 4
           - sprigs
     14 lb Turkey; neck, giblets
           - removed
           Olive oil (for brushing)
 
  Finely grate 1 orange to yield 1 Tbsp. zest; transfer to
  a small bowl. Slice oranges into 1/2" thick rounds;
  transfer to a resealable plastic bag and chill until
  ready to use. Add salt, pepper, and chopped sage to zest
  and stir to combine.
  
  Place turkey, breast side down, on a large cutting board.
  Cut along each side of backbone with kitchen shears-this
  will take some force (you can ask your butcher to do
  this). Discard backbone or reserve for another use.
  
  With turkey skin side down, use a knife to score down the
  long oblong bone in center of breast. Turn turkey skin
  side up, then firmly press down with both hands on
  breastbone until you hear a cracking sound. Rub zest
  mixture all over turkey, under skin, and inside cavity.
  Transfer turkey skin side up to a rimmed baking sheet,
  cover with plastic wrap, and chill 6-18 hours.
  
  Arrange a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 450┬░F/232┬░C.
  
  Tuck sage sprigs and reserved orange slices in an even
  layer under turkey. Let sit at room temperature 30-60
  minutes to air dry.
  
  Brush turkey with oil, add 1/2 cup water to pan, and
  roast 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350┬░F/175┬░C.
  Rotate pan, add 1/2 cup water to pan, and brush turkey
  with more oil. Continue to roast, brushing with oil after
  30 minutes, until skin is deep golden brown and crisp,
  55-65 minutes more.
  
  Transfer turkey to clean cutting board, tent with foil,
  and let rest at least 30 minutes before carving.
