What Makes This Recipe Special?
This recipe takes the classic roasted turkey and elevates it with a few key ingredients:
- Honey mustard glaze: This sweet and tangy glaze adds a delicious flavor to the turkey and helps to keep it moist.
- Fresh herbs: Rosemary and thyme add a warm, earthy aroma to the turkey, complementing the sweetness of the honey mustard.
- Olive oil: A drizzle of olive oil helps to keep the turkey skin crispy and golden brown.
- Simple ingredients: This recipe uses just a handful of ingredients, making it easy to prepare and perfect for even novice cooks.
How to Make Herb & Honey Mustard Roasted Turkey:
- Prep the turkey: Preheat your oven to 325°F and place the turkey on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush the turkey with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together French’s® Honey Mustard, honey, and fresh herbs.
- Roast the turkey: Place the turkey in the oven and roast for 11-14 minutes per pound, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 180°F.
- Glaze the turkey: During the last 15 minutes of cooking, baste the turkey with the honey mustard glaze.
- Rest and carve: Let the turkey rest for 15-20 minutes before carving and serving.
Tips for Making the Best Herb & Honey Mustard Roasted Turkey:
- Use a fresh turkey: For the best flavor and texture, use a fresh turkey instead of a frozen one.
- Don’t overcook the turkey: The turkey is done when the meat thermometer reaches 180°F. Overcooking will result in dry turkey.
- Let the turkey rest: Resting the turkey allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bird.
- Serve with your favorite sides: This turkey pairs well with classic Thanksgiving sides like mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
This Herb & Honey Mustard Roasted Turkey is a delicious and easy way to impress your guests this Thanksgiving. With its sweet and savory glaze, fresh herbs, and juicy turkey, it’s sure to be a hit. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to create a Thanksgiving feast that everyone will remember.
Bonus Tip:
For an extra special touch, add a splash of white wine or sherry to your glaze. This will add a depth of flavor that will impress your guests.
Notes Tip 1: You can substitute pancetta with Woolworths Select bacon. Make sure the stuffing is completely cold before stuffing the turkey. Stuff the turkey just before you put it into the oven and not before. Tip 2: Tying the legs with kitchen string gives the turkey a neat, compact shape prior to cooking. By holding the legs close up against the body of the bird it prevents them over-cooking and drying out. Tip 3: If your gravy goes lumpy, or if you want finer gravy, strain it through a fine sieve placed over a medium saucepan. Press it through with a wooden spoon to extract all the juices. Reheat to serve. Photo Credit: Woolworths SHARE
