Why do my turkey dripping taste gross?

I cooked my 15 pound turkey on top of vegetables for 3 hours and 45 mins. The vegetables and literally turned dark and I used the drippings that accumulated to baste the turkey in between the baking period. For some reason the turkey drippings tasted very gross and greasy and in turn made some parts of the turkey taste that way as well. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Am I scorching the drippings? Also do I keep the vegetables at the bottom of the pan the whole 3 hours and 45 mins I bake the turkey (bc when I took it out the vegetables had turned dark.. I used the veggies for stock)??
