Prepare the Turkey:

• Using a boning knife, carefully separate the legs, breasts, and wings from the carcass, as demonstrated in the video.  
• Place the separated turkey parts on a cookie sheet and generously salt both sides for a dry brine. 
• Refrigerate them, uncovered, for a minimum of 2 hours if possible.

Preheat Oven to 325°F (162°C)

• Remove the turkey parts from the fridge and allow them to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before coating the skin side generously with softened butter.
• Place the dark meat in the Preheated Oven approximately 20 minutes ahead of the breasts.
• Roast the dark meat until it reaches an internal temperature of 180°F (82°C), while the breast should reach 155°F (68°C).

Make the Stock:

• In a large stockpot, add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add the peeled garlic cloves and sauté for a couple more minutes. 
• Pour in the white wine and let it reduce until about ¼ of the volume remains.
• Add the fresh herbs, turkey carcass, turkey neck, and giblets to the pot. Add enough chicken stock to cover all the ingredients.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. 
• Allow it to simmer for at least 2 hours, up to 5 hours if time permits. This will extract maximum flavor from the ingredients.

Prepare the Gravy:

• In a reduction pan, melt 3 ounces of butter over medium heat.
• Add the chopped shallots and cook for a minutes until softened. Stir in the chopped fresh sage.
• Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture to create a soft roux. 
• Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture to create a soft roux. Slowly pour in the turkey stock, adding one cup at a time and allowing each addition to fully incorporate before adding more.
• Adjust the amount of stock until you achieve your desired gravy consistency.
• Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes or until you are ready to serve.
• Just before serving, you can add more butter to taste for a rich and velvety finish.
