I would not recommend this recipe. The glaze was bland and the turkey was dry.

The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the turkey was cooked perfectly.

This recipe was absolutely delicious! The plum glaze was the perfect complement to the turkey, and the meat was so moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again for Thanksgiving.
