Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 whole turkey (about 12 pounds), thawed if frozen, rinsed and patted dry inside and out (neck and giblets reserved for gravy, liver discarded)
Chestnut and Apple Stuffing
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature, plus more for aluminum foil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/3 cup pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with roasting rack in lowest position. Stuff and prepare turkey for roasting.
  • Set roasting rack in a large roasting pan. Place turkey on rack; rub all sides with butter, and season generously with salt and pepper. Pour 3 cups water into roasting pan. Loosely cover turkey with aluminum foil (unbuttered). Roast 1 hour, then baste every 30 minutes with pan liquids until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 125 degrees, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Remove foil; raise oven heat to 400 degrees. Continue roasting, brushing 3 to 4 times with maple syrup, until thigh reaches 170 degrees, 45 to 60 minutes more (temperature will rise about 10 degrees as turkey rests after roasting).
  • If bird browns too quickly, loosely cover with buttered foil; add more water if pan becomes dry. Transfer turkey to a serving platter, cover loosely with buttered foil, and let rest at least 30 minutes before carving so juices are reabsorbed. Reserve pan for making gravy.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The glaze has a lot of sugar in it.

I made this recipe for Christmas dinner and it was a disaster. The turkey was dry and the glaze was burnt. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was easy to follow and the turkey turned out great. The glaze was a little too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe.
