prepare turkey as usual with whatever seasoning and stuffing you do but then pour wine and orange juice over it. Cook turkey according to package instructions. if more liquid is needed during cooking add extra chicken broth.

Gravy: heat oil in a large stockpot over medium heat( this recipe makes 10- 11 cups) add pototoes , celery, carrots, and onion. Cook until veggies start to soften about 10- 20 min.stirring occasionally.

add 4 cans chicken broth , beer and turkey neck. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low simmer 1 hour . Remove turkey neck. Stir in seasoning and browning sauce. Continue simmering until the veggies begin to fall apart about 1 more hour.Use potato masher to help mash veggies.

when turkey is done get 4 cups of pan drippings . I use a gravy / fat separator to get the fat out. or you could put into a measuring cup wait 5 min and skim off fat. after that is done add drippings to the gravy. cook 30 min. more. push gravy through a fine sieve ( definitely a 2 person job). at this point if tje gravy is not as thick as you like you can thicken it however you want. I usually just add a couple packs of turkey or chicken gravy mix. make sure to stir them in a little cold water first before adding and to stir constantly when you add to avoid little lumps. don't forget to bring the gravy back up to a boil for about 5 min until its thicker if you use that way and stir constantly.

this recipe makes about 20-half cup servings.

a lot of time thats why I only make it once a year. But it does taste just like my great- grandmothers recipe.

found this recipe in a magazine at least 10 years ago been making it every year since.
