3 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil

  • In 1-quart saucepan, heat glaze ingredients over low heat, stirring occasionally, until honey and butter are melted.
  • Cut band of skin or remove tie holding legs to allow inside of thighs to cook thoroughly. Brush turkey with glaze; roast uncovered 10 minutes. Brush with glaze; roast uncovered 10 to 20 minutes longer. Turkey is done when thermometer reads 165°F and drumsticks move easily when lifted or twisted.
  • Place turkey on warm platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Let stand 15 minutes for easier carving.

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons rubbed sage
2 teaspoons salt
1 pinch dried thyme
1 (16 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
¼ cup butter
⅓ cup orange juice
⅓ cup orange marmalade
1 ½ teaspoons honey
1 orange, peeled, sectioned, and cut into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Combine sage, salt, and thyme in a small bowl. Rub half of the sage mixture all over the turkey, then place the turkey in a large roasting pan. Set remaining sage mixture aside. Bring butter, orange juice, orange marmalade, honey, and orange sections to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until thickened, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the remaining sage mixture. Brush the turkey with the glaze.
  • Bake the turkey in the preheated oven for 5 hours and 30 minutes, basting every 30 minutes. Cover turkey lightly with foil and continue baking until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 30 minutes to 1 hour, occasionally brushing with the glaze. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh sage and oregano leaves. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey. This will make it difficult to cook evenly.
  • Truss the turkey securely. This will help it hold its shape while cooking.
  • Roast the turkey at a high temperature for the first 30 minutes, then reduce the heat. This will help the turkey brown evenly.
  • Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with the honey-lemon glaze. This will help keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

This sage and oregano rubbed turkey with honey-lemon glaze is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its crispy skin, moist meat, and flavorful glaze, this turkey is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special turkey recipe, give this one a try.
