1
Preheat the oven to 500°F and position an oven rack on the second level from the bottom.
2
Rinse the turkey inside and out, then pat it dry with paper towels.

Brush the turkey with olive oil and sprinkle generously with pepper.

TURKEY
5
Fill the turkey's cavity with the stuffing.
6
Place the turkey in a roasting pan, breast side up, then put the pan in the oven legs first.
7
Roast until the leg joint near the backbone wiggles easily, about 2 hours. Rotate the turkey every 20 minutes to prevent sticking.

Add the flour to the pan and stir vigorously to combine with the pan drippings.

Gradually add the chicken broth while scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to release the browned bits.

Bring the mixture to a boil, let it reduce by half, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
13
Strain the gravy to remove any lumps and serve it with the carved turkey.
