Ingredients:

Turkey:

• 1 whole turkey (10-12 lbs)
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1 tsp dried sage
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 pineapple, peeled and sliced

Pineapple Glaze:

• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp soy sauce

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper to create a marinade for the turkey.
2. Place the turkey in a large roasting pan and pour the marinade over the turkey, making sure to coat it evenly.
3. Cover the turkey with foil and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator and arrange the pineapple slices on top of the turkey, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.
6. Cover the turkey with foil and roast in the oven for 2 1/2 hours.
7. While the turkey is roasting, prepare the pineapple glaze by combining all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bringing it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes until the glaze thickens.
8. Remove the foil from the turkey and baste it with the pineapple glaze. Roast for an additional 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes, until the turkey is fully cooked (the internal temperature should reach 165°F).
9. Let the turkey rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving.

Additional Tips:

• For an extra kick of flavor, add some chopped jalapeños to the pineapple glaze.
• If you don't have pineapple juice, you can use orange juice instead.
• Make sure to save the turkey drippings to make a delicious gravy to accompany your meal.
• For a vegetarian option, you can substitute the turkey with a roasted pineapple stuffed with rice and vegetables.
