Tent turkey with foil, roast 2 hours. Remove foil, brush with remaining butter. Increase oven temperature to 425º.

Make sure the giblets are clean (remove membranes as needed), if they aren’t already. Next, chop the giblets and the meat that has been removed from the turkey’s neck. Using a saucepot, bring the stock to a boil. Add the giblets, bouillon cubes, poultry seasoning, and the raw stuffing mix to the stock.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together, and add it to the boiling stock, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until it thickens to a nice gravy consistency. Add the salt and pepper, to taste, and finish it off by adding the sliced boiled egg.
