Ingredients

  • 1 16-lb turkey neck and giblets removed
  • 1 onion quartered
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 300F. Rinse the turkey and pat dry with paper towels. Place turkey in a large roasting pan. Stuff the cavity with the quartered onion.
  2. Brush the turkey completely with olive oil. Sprinkle over the salt, pepper and thyme. Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 hours.
  3. In a bowl, combine the honey, melted butter, sage, parsley, basil, salt and pepper. Stir until completely combined. Baste the turkey with the mixture. Continue to cook the turkey until an instant-read thermometer reads 180F when inserted in the thickest part of the thigh, about another 2 hours. Continue to baste the turkey with the honey mixture as the turkey roasts.
  4. Remove the turkey from the oven and cover with foil. Let sit for 10-15 minutes before carving.
