Roast Turkey With Molasses Glaze

Recipe Ingredients

16 lbs	7264g / 256oz	Fresh turkey
1 tablespoon	15ml	Chopped sage
1 tablespoon	15ml	Chopped thyme
		Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2		Onions - chopped
3		Carrots - chopped
2		Celery - chopped
3 tablespoons	45ml	Molasses
3 tablespoons	45ml	Soy sauce
1 tablespoon	15ml	Dijon mustard

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water. Dry thoroughly with paper towels. Season inside and out with sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Stuff turkey loosely with your favorite stuffing and truss. Place the turkey in a roasting pan with the chopped vegetables and place in the center of the oven.

In a bowl, whisk the molasses, soy and mustard together. During the last 2 hours of roasting, baste the turkey every 20 to 30 minutes with the molasses mixture. The skin will become dark. Tent with foil, if necessary. The turkey should take approximately 4 1/2 hours to cook. Let the turkey rest for 20 to 25 minutes before carving.
