- Adjust oven rack to lowest position; preheat oven to 325°. Place roasting rack in large deep roasting pan; remove giblets, liver, and neck from turkey cavity (refrigerate or freeze for another use). Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in pan; sprinkle inside cavity and outside of turkey with salt and pepper. Stuff turkey with apple and onion, placing any excess in bottom of pan; if not already secured, tie legs together with kitchen string and tuck wing tips under turkey to hold in place. Tent turkey loosely with aluminum foil; roast 1 1/2 hours.
- In small bowl, stir in butter and garlic powder; brush turkey with some butter mixture. Add 3 cups chicken broth to roasting pan; tent turkey with foil. Roast turkey 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 160° in thickest part of thigh, making sure thermometer doesn't touch bone, brushing every 20 minutes with butter mixture and adding 1 cup broth if bottom of pan looks dry; remove foil during last 30 minutes of roasting to brown top, if necessary. Transfer turkey to carving board; loosely cover with foil and let stand 30 minutes. (Internal temperature will rise 5 to 10° upon standing.)
- Remove rack from roasting pan; with spoon, skim excess fat from drippings. Place roasting pan with drippings across 2 burners over medium heat; whisk in flour. Add remaining 2 or 3 cups broth and vinegar; heat 5 minutes, scraping browned bits from bottom of pan with wooden spoon. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Strain gravy through fine-mesh strainer if smoother consistency is desired. Stir in parsley. Makes about 2 1/4 cups.
- Carve turkey; serve with gravy.
