Whether it's at the table or in the kitchen, here are some handy tips on how to carve a Christmas turkey for the best cuts and minimal waste. SORTEDfood guide ...
To make the stock, I take necks, backbones, giblets, or the carcass, and brown them in the pan with a little oil. Next, add some celery, carrot, and onion and brown them slightly as well. Add chicken stock to the pot with any seasoning you would like. I usually go with a dash of salt,pepper, bayleaves, fresh thyme, and a couple dashes of soy sauce. Cook that for 45 min to an hour, strain it, and you have you stock. To make the gravy, simply take equal parts butter and flour and make a roux. Once its nice and ever so slightly golden, usually around 2 or 3 minutes of cooking, add the stock youve made into the roux in a steady stream while whisking furiously. In case you saved the stock you made in the fridge, make sure its quite hot before you add it to the roux. Let that come to a boil and reduce to simmer until you get the thickness you desire. Once there, adjust the seasoning to your liking and tada! You have just made your very own homemade gravy. I just did this on Thanksgiving and it was amazing :)

Perhaps you could grill your turkey. It is also very popular to deep fry a turkey in the U.S. It makes the skin nice and crispy and is never dry. I'm fond of the idea of grilling your turkey if you have a grill.
I don't have a big enough oven, and I can't afford to spend $60 on a turkey
just for 2 people. Could these principles apply to cooking a chicken as
well? I love turkey but goddamn they're expensive over here.
You could try that but I bet it would be fine to cook it breast up. Turkey dries out because of how long it has to be in the oven. Something you may like to do is put the butter under the skin. You gently peel it up with your fingers and try not to rip it. Gordon Ramsay has a technique like that. I'm sure you could find a video for a good visual instruction. And then you can still put the glaze on the outside.
+Sarah Rogers A good ham is just as expensive as a turkey here, otherwise I'd totally go for that. Would it be appropriate to cook the chicken breast side down for a while as well? All other recipes I can find online say to cook it breast side up.
yes it would definitely work on a chicken. the cavity may be a bit smaller so maybe just one orange? also, that glaze would be very good on a ham if you can get that for cheaper.
