For the Turkey:

  2. In a roasting pan add the carrots, celery and onion to the bottom of the pan; add the turkey on top of the vegetables.

  4. Let rest for 10 minutes before you carve it.
Herb Mixture:

For the Gravy:
  1. In a pot, heat liquid to a simmer. Add the remainder of the ingredients except for the cornstarch slurry. Simmer for 10 minutes on low heat, just long enough to cook the vegetables but not reduce the liquid.
  2. Make the cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch and 2 T. of water together, then whisk into the gravy to thicken.
  3. Blend the gravy. Serve hot.
