    Categories: Pouotry, Herbs, Dairy, Sauces
    Yield: 14 servings

    1/2 c Coarse-grain or Dijon
    - mustard
    1/4 c Chopped fresh sage
    2 tb Chopped fresh thyme
    2 tb Chopped fresh chives or
    - tarragon
    10 lb Turkey; thawed
    2 tb A-P flour
    1 c Chicken broth
    1/4 c Half & half
    1/4 ts (ea) salt & black pepper

    Set oven @ 450┬║F/232┬║C.

    Combine mustard, sage, thyme, and chives in small bowl.

    Rinse turkey with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
    Carefully insert fingers under skin, beginning at neck
    cavity and sliding down over breast forming to form
    pocket between skin and turkey breast. Spoon mustard
    mixture into pocket. Use fingers to massage outside of
    skin, spreading mixture into even layer. Place turkey,
    breast side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan.

    Place turkey in oven. Reduce heat to 325┬║F/165┬║C. Roast
    turkey 18 minutes per pound unstuffed (20 minutes per
    pound stuffed) or until internal temperature reads 165┬░F
    on meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh
    not touching bone. Once turkey browns, tent with foil
    for remainder of roasting time. Transfer turkey to
    carving board; reserve pan drippings. Loosely tent
    turkey with foil; let stand 20 minutes before carving.

    Meanwhile, pour reserved drippings from roasting pan
    into glass measuring cup. Spoon 2 tablespoons into
    medium saucepan; heat over medium heat. Add flour; cook
    and stir 1 minute. Add broth; simmer until thickened,
    stirring constantly. Spoon off fat from remaining pan
    drippings and discard. Add drippings to saucepan. Stir
    in half-and-half, salt and pepper.

    Carve turkey and transfer to serving platter.

    Serve with gravy.
