Even during the holidays, my husband wouldn't eat turkey...until I tried this recipe. Now, he loves it! The sweet and spicy glaze gives the turkey a wonderful flavor.

Honey-Glazed Turkey Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 5 hours

Yield: 12-14 Servings

25 300 325

Ingredients

2 cups chopped onion
1-1/2 cups chopped celery
1/2 cup butter, cubed
12 cups unseasoned stuffing croutons or dry bread cubes
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 to 2-1/2 cups boiling water
1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds)
GLAZE:
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a large skillet, saute onion and celery in butter until tender. Pour into a large bowl. Add the next seven ingredients; mix well. Stir in enough water until stuffing has reached desired moistness.
Just before baking, stuff the turkey. Skewer openings; tie drumsticks together. Place on a rack in a roasting pan. Cover lightly with an aluminum foil tent.
Bake at 325° for 4 hours. Combine glaze ingredients. Pour over turkey. Bake 1 to 1-1/2 hours longer or until a meat thermometer reads 185°, basting if needed. Remove all stuffing. If desired, thicken drippings for gravy. Yield: 12-14 servings (about 12 cups stuffing).

Editor's Note: Stuffing may be baked in a greased 3-qt. covered baking dish at 325° for 70 minutes (uncover the last 10 minutes). Turkey may also be prepared in an oven roasting bag. Pour glaze over stuffed turkey and bake according to package directions.
