Instructions
Remove giblets from turkey; cover and refrigerate for gravy. Pat turkey dry; place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Rub softened butter over turkey.
In a large saucepan, melt cubed butter; stir in oil. Saturate a four-layered 17-in. square of cheesecloth in butter mixture; drape over turkey.
Add tangerine juice to remaining butter mixture.
Bake turkey, uncovered, at 325° for 3 hours; baste with tangerine juice mixture every 30 minutes, keeping cheesecloth moist at all times.
Remove and discard cheesecloth.
Bake turkey 45 minutes to 1-1/4 hours longer or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.
Remove turkey to a serving platter; cover and let stand for 20 minutes before carving.
Pour drippings and loosened brown bits into a measuring cup. Skim fat, reserving 1/3 cup.
Add enough broth to remaining drippings to measure 4 cups.
For gravy, chop reserved giblets. In a large saucepan, saute giblets in reserved fat until browned. Stir in flour until blended; gradually stir in broth mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
