Time 2h30m

Yield 14 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 fresh turkey, about 14 to 16 pounds
1/2 lemon
1 apple, quartered
1 onion, halved
3 to 4 stalks celery, cut in half
Salt
1/4 pound butter
1/2 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Bring turkey to room temperature before roasting.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Wash and dry turkey. Stuff with lemon, apple, onion and celery. Truss, and season with salt.
  • Melt butter in maple syrup over medium heat, and pour over turkey. Place on a rack in a pan. Roast 10 to 12 minutes for each pound. Baste every 20 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into thigh without touching bone. (Pop-up thermometers that come with turkeys are unreliable.) Thigh should register 175 to 180 degrees at thickest part, breast meat 170 degrees. Before carving, let rest out of the oven for at least 20 minutes.

This recipe is a great starting point for a delicious turkey. I added some of my own spices and herbs to give it a more unique flavor.

I didn't have maple syrup, so I used honey instead. It turned out great!

The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the turkey itself was delicious.
