Remove neck and giblets from body and neck cavities of turkey; refrigerate for another use or
discard. Drain juices from turkey; pat dry with paper towels. Turn wings back to hold neck skin in place.
Return legs to the tucked position, if untucked. Place turkey, breast side up, on flat rack in shallow
roasting pan.

4
Roast turkey 2 hours*. Brush with 1/4 cup of the glaze. Loosely cover breast and tops of drumsticks
with aluminum foil to prevent breast from overcooking and glaze from darkening too much. Brush with
additional 1/4 cup of the glaze after 30 minutes.
-
5
Continue roasting turkey about 1 hour, or until meat thermometer reaches 180°F when inserted in
thickest part of thigh. Remove turkey from oven. Brush with remaining glaze.

Let turkey stand 15 minutes before carving.
