Roasted Turkey with Cranberry Glaze

Ingredients:

• 1 whole turkey (12-14 pounds)
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup cranberry juice
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Turkey is a staple at holiday gatherings, and this roasted turkey with cranberry glaze takes it to the next level. The combination of tangy cranberry and sweet honey creates a delicious glaze that gives the turkey a beautiful color and incredible flavor. To make this dish, start by preheating your oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the turkey, making sure to get under the skin. Place the turkey in a roasting pan and roast for about 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. While the turkey is roasting, make the glaze by combining the cranberry juice, honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens. During the last 30 minutes of roasting, brush the glaze over the turkey every 10 minutes. Once the turkey is done, let it rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving.
