Instructions
Combine first 3 ingredients.
Remove giblets and neck from turkey; pat turkey dry with paper towels. Loosen and lift skin from turkey breast with fingers without totally detaching skin; rub butter mixture underneath skin. Carefully replace skin; secure skin at both ends using wooden picks to prevent skin from shrinking.
Sprinkle 2 Tbsp. Paprika-Brown Sugar Rub inside cavity.
Place apples inside cavity. Tie ends of legs together with string; tuck wingtips under.
Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Rub 6 Tbsp. Paprika-Brown Sugar Rub over outside of turkey.
Pour chicken broth into roasting pan.
Bake turkey at 350, on lowest oven rack, 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until skin is well browned and a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion of thigh registers 170, shielding with aluminum foil during last hour of cooking to prevent excessive browning, if necessary. (Do not baste.)
Transfer turkey to a serving platter, reserving drippings in roasting pan.
Let turkey stand 20 minutes before carving.
Meanwhile, pour pan drippings through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a 4-cup glass measuring cup.
Let stand 10 minutes. Skim fat from surface of drippings. (
Add chicken broth, if needed, to equal 3 cups.)
Melt 3 Tbsp. butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan.
Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 3 to 4 minutes or until golden.
Whisk in 3 cups drippings, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.
