Critical Success Points

  • Breaking down the whole turkey safely
  • Roasting bones to develop deep flavor for stock
  • Simmering stock for at least 2.5 hours
  • Cooking a golden roux without burning
  • Reaching target internal temperatures (145°F breast, 205°F thigh)
  • Re‑crisping breast skin just before serving

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw turkey with separate cutting board and wash hands thoroughly to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Use a sharp knife and keep fingers clear of the blade when joint‑cutting.
  • Hot oven and hot oil can cause burns; use oven mitts and keep pot handles turned inward.
