Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole turkey (about 12 pounds), thawed if frozen, rinsed and patted dry (neck and giblets reserved, liver discarded)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 cups Pecan Cornbread Dressing
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in lowest position. Place turkey on roasting rack set in a large roasting pan. Season inside of turkey with salt and pepper. Loosely fill neck and large cavity with dressing; fold skin over, and secure with skewers or trussing needles, if necessary. Bend wing tips forward, and tuck under neck cavity. Using kitchen twine, tie legs together securely. Rub turkey all over with butter; season with salt and pepper.
  • Add neck, giblets, and 3 cups water to roasting pan. Cover turkey loosely with aluminum foil. Roast 1 hour, and then baste with pan juices every 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of a thigh (avoiding bone) registers 125 degrees, 1 to 2 hours more.
  • Remove foil; increase heat to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together sugar and mustard; brush turkey with glaze. Rotate pan, and continue to roast turkey, brushing with glaze 2 to 3 more times, until thermometer registers 165 degrees, 45 minutes to 1 hour more (tent with buttered foil if browning too quickly; add more water if pan becomes dry).
  • Transfer turkey to a platter; reserve pan with drippings for gravy (opposite). Cover turkey loosely with foil, and let rest at least 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour). Before serving, remove dressing, and carve.

I'm not a fan of mustard, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did! The mustard flavor was subtle and it really complemented the sweetness of the brown sugar. The turkey was also very moist and tender.

This turkey was a disappointment. The glaze was too sweet and the meat was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I was skeptical at first, but this recipe really delivered. The turkey was juicy and flavorful, and the glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I will definitely be making this again.
