The Perfect Glazed Christmas Turkey
Ingredients:
1 whole turkey, thawed and patted dry
1 cup Brown sugar
1 cup Honey
1/2 cup Butter, melted
1/4 cup Maple syrup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Garlic powder
1 tablespoon Onion powder
1 teaspoon Black pepper
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Thyme
1 teaspoon Rosemary
1 teaspoon Sage
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, melted butter, maple syrup, dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the glaze is smooth.
Place the turkey on a roasting rack inside a large roasting pan. Brush the glaze all over the turkey, making sure to get in between the skin and the meat.
Cover the turkey with foil and roast for about 2 hours.
Remove the foil and baste the turkey with the glaze every 30 minutes.
Continue cooking the turkey for an additional hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers at least 165°F (75°C).
Once the turkey is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving and serving.
