List of Ingredients




fresh - Turkey w/Cranberry + Apple Glaze

1 10- to 12-pound turkey
Salt and ground black pepper
1 medium onion, cut into quarters
1 medium orange, cut into quarters
4 sprigs fresh sage
4 sprigs fresh thyme
Cooking oil
1 8-ounce can jellied cranberry sauce
1/4 cup apple jelly
2 tablespoons honey or light-colored corn syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice or cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon snipped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves,
crushed

1. Rinse the inside of turkey; pat dry with paper towels. Season body
cavity with salt and pepper. Sprinkle outside of turkey with pepper.
Place onion, orange, sage, and thyme sprigs into body cavity. Pull neck
skin to the back; fasten with a small skewer. Tuck the ends of the
drumsticks under the band of skin across the tail. If there is no band
of skin, tie the drumsticks securely to the tail. Twist wing tips under
the back.

2. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Brush with oil. If you like, insert an oven-going meat thermometer into
the center of an inside thigh muscle. The thermometer should not touch
bone. Cover turkey loosely with foil.

3. Place turkey in a 325 degree F oven. Roast for 2-3/4 to 3 hours.

4. During the last 45 minutes of roasting, remove foil. Cut band of skin
or string between drumsticks so thighs cook evenly. Meanwhile, prepare
the glaze.

5. For the glaze: In a small saucepan, melt cranberry sauce, apple
jelly, honey, lemon juice, and snipped or dried thyme. During the last
25 minutes of roasting, brush turkey often with glaze.

6. Roast until the thermometer registers 180 degree F. (The juices
should run clear and the drumsticks should move easily in their
sockets.) Remove turkey from oven. Discard onion, orange, sage, and
thyme sprigs. Cover with foil; let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before
carving. Makes 12 to 14 servings.
