Easy
  • Preheat the oven to 392 °F.
  • Squeeze orange juice.
  • For the marinade: Combine ½ onion, 3 garlic cloves, 2 cups of rosé, ½ rosemary sprig, 1 thyme sprig, butter, and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain to keep the turkey injector from clogging when injecting the turkey.
  • Inject and baste turkey with a brush.
  • Weave serrano ham on the turkey by arranging each strip one by one until completely covered. Set aside.
  • For the stuffing: Cut onion, garlic, leek, celery, green, and red apple into small-sized cubes.
  • Heat a small pot with oil. Fry onion, garlic, celery, leek, red and green apple.
  • Add raisins, hazelnut, and almonds and fry for 5 more minutes. Add cranberries and season with cinnamon, bay leaf, rosemary, and ground pepper.
  • Add red wine and simmer for 5 more minutes.
  • Stuff turkey with cooked stuffing.
  • Wrap turkey with aluminum foil to keep it from burning. Bake for 4 hours.
  • Uncover turkey, inject, and baste to keep it from drying out.
  • Bake for 40 more minutes until cooked through.
  • Once cooked through, place turkey on a baking sheet. Set juices and fat aside.
  • For the gravy: Heat a small pot with butter. Fry thyme, onion, garlic, and tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes. Add red wine and beef broth and reduce by half. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Serve bacon-wrapped apple-stuffed turkey with gravy on the side.
