Ingredients:

  • 1 (12-14 pound) whole turkey, thawed
  • ¾ cup Appin Bees Honey
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups chicken broth (for basting)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting.
  2. Prepare Turkey:

    • Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey. Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
    • Season the inside cavity with salt and pepper. Tie the legs together and tuck the wing tips under.
  3. Prepare Honey Glaze:

    • In a bowl, combine Appin Bees Honey, melted butter, Dijon mustard, sage, and thyme. Mix well until you have a smooth glaze.
  4. Glaze the Turkey:

    • Generously brush the turkey with half of the honey glaze, ensuring it is well-coated.
    • Pour the chicken broth into the roasting pan.
  5. Roasting:

    • Place the turkey, breast side up, on a roasting rack in the roasting pan.
    • Roast the turkey in the preheated oven, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices.
    • After 1 hour of roasting, brush the turkey with the remaining honey glaze.
    • Continue to roast for about 2-3 hours more, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Resting:

    • Once done, carefully remove the turkey from the oven.
    • Tent the turkey with aluminum foil and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving.
  7. Serving:

    • Carve the turkey and serve it with your favorite Thanksgiving sides.
    • Drizzle with a bit more Appin Bees Honey if desired and enjoy the succulent flavors!

Enrich your Thanksgiving table with the sweet, wholesome goodness of Appin Bees Honey and share the joy with your loved ones. This Honey Glazed Turkey is not just a dish; it’s a celebration of gratitude and love, sprinkled with the golden essence of nature. Happy Thanksgiving from Appin Bees!
