- Remove giblets and neck from turkey; throw away. Rinse turkey thorough with cool water; pat dry. Starting at neck cavity, loosen skin from breast and drumstick by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat. Combine sage, 2 tsp. chives, 1 tsp. thyme, and 1 tsp. parsley in a small bowl. Rub sage mix under loosened skin and inside body cavity. Tie ends of legs with cord. Lift wings tips up and over back, and tuck under bird.
- Place turkey on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray or possibly on a rack set in a shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer into meaty part of thigh, making sure not to touch bone. Bake at 350 for 3 hrs or possibly till thermometer registers 180 . (cover turkey loosely with aluminum foil if it gets too brown.) Remove turkey from oven. Cover loosely with foil; let stand at least 10 min before carving.
- Place a zip-top plastic bag into a 2-c. glass measure. Pour drippings from pan into bag; let stand 10 min (fat will rise to the top). Seal bag; snip off one bottom corner of bag. Drain droppings into a medium saucepan, stopping before the fat layers reaches the opening. Stir in 2-1/2 c. broth and sherry. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 10 min. Combine 1/4 c. broth and flour in a small bowl, stirring well with a wire whisk. Stir into sherry mix, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir in 2 Tbsp. parsley, 1 tsp. chives and 1 tsp. thyme. Serve gravy with turkey.
- Yield 12 servings (serving size 6 ounces turkey and 1/4 c. gravy).
