Roasted Turkey with Cranberry and Orange Glaze

Ingredients:

• 1 whole turkey (about 12 pounds), thawed if frozen
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 orange, sliced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth

This recipe takes the traditional Christmas turkey to the next level with a sweet and tangy glaze that will have your taste buds dancing. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, honey, orange juice, dried cranberries, thyme, salt, and pepper. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and brush the glaze all over the turkey, making sure to cover every inch. Stuff the turkey with orange and onion slices and pour chicken broth into the bottom of the pan. Roast for 3-4 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices. Once the internal temperature reaches 165°F, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.

Pro tip:

For an extra crispy skin, increase the oven temperature to 400°F for the last 30 minutes of cooking time.

Maple-Glazed Ham with Pineapple and Cherries

• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup

This ham glaze is the perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a hint of tanginess from the pineapple and cherries. Preheat your oven to 325°F and place the ham in a roasting pan. In a small bowl, mix together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, pineapple juice, and chopped maraschino cherries. Pour the glaze over the ham, making sure to cover all sides. Bake for 2-3 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

For a delicious side dish, toss some chopped pineapple and cherries with the ham glaze and roast in the oven for the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
