Recipe View After the initial 2 hours of roasting, brush some of the glaze evenly over the turkey. Continue roasting, basting frequently with the remaining glaze every 20-30 minutes, until the turkey is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

Recipe View Remove the turkey from the oven, tent it loosely with a double layer of aluminum foil, and let it rest in a warm place for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird. (15 minutes)

For an even deeper flavor, consider rubbing the turkey with the herb mixture under the skin of the breast. Be gentle to avoid tearing the skin.
If the turkey skin begins to brown too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil during the last hour of roasting to prevent burning.
Make sure your oven is properly calibrated to ensure accurate cooking times.
Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and stuffing.
