SERVES 8 TO 10

1 12-to-14-lb. whole turkey,

giblets removed

3 medium yellow onions

4 small oranges, halved

Kitchen string (optional)

3 carrots, chopped (about 11⁄2 cups)

1 stalk celery, chopped (about 1 cup)

1 head garlic, halved crosswise

1⁄4 cup olive oil or unsalted butter, melted

2 Tbsp. kosher salt

2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1 bunch fresh sage

PREHEAT oven to 425°F with rack in lowest position. Pat turkey dry inside and out with paper towels. Halve 1 onion; place it and 2 orange halves inside turkey cavity. Tuck wings under body. If desired, tie drumsticks together with string.

CUT remaining 2 onions into wedges. Place onion wedges, carrots, celery, and garlic in a metal roasting pan fitted with a wire rack. Transfer turkey to rack. Drizzle turkey skin with oil; spread evenly over skin. Loosen skin gently on breast and thighs; rub salt and pepper evenly under and over skin.

ROAST turkey until lightly browned, 30 to 45 minutes. Add 1 cup water to roasting pan. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.

RETURN turkey to oven and roast until a thermometer inserted in a thigh reads 170°F, 40 minutes to 1 hour. (Tent with foil if turkey browns too quickly.)

TRANSFER turkey to a large carving board. (If making gravy, reserve juices in roasting pan.) Let turkey rest for 30 to 60 minutes before carving. Garnish with sage and remaining orange halves.

Goodbye to All That - Burdened by the weight of wouldas, shouldas, and couldas, a former compulsive goal setter discovers the freedom of giving up.

Don't know about you, but this time of year, with the back-to-school sales and newpencil smell in the air, always makes me want to reinvent myself. When I was a kid, every fall was another chance to cast aside the embarrassments of the previous grade and turn into the totally cool individual I was born to be. (I'm still waiting.) Now it's another chance to launch my own version of New Year's resolutions. Let's call it my Fall Agenda of Improvements and Laudable Successes (a.k.a. FAILS). I look at running gear and consider signing up for a marathon. I invest in a new skin care regimen. I stock up on accordion files so I can finally get my papers in order.

Go With Your Gut - Each of us has a little voice inside that knows more than the conscious mind. It's called intuition, and it deserves your attention.

Cognitive scientists, who study how human beings think and reason, generally define intuition as knowledge gained without rational thought, and they believe it's a natural part of how our brains work. Humans have two main ways of absorbing information. One is a slow, deliberate process, in which we methodically analyze details for instance, comparing two laptop models before buying. The second happens almost instantly, and the insight feels like it came out of the blue. In fact, though, it's based on data we've gathered subconsciously over time and, in a flash, connected with our past experiences.
