Honey-Glazed Turkey (continued)

Directions (continued)

  • for 2 hours.
  • In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients; brush over turkey. Bake 1-3/4
  • to 2-1/4 hours longer or until a thermometer inserted in thigh reads
  • 180°. Baste occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with
  • foil if turkey browns too quickly.)
  • For stuffing, in a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add
  • onion and celery; cook and stir until tender. Add stuffing cubes and
  • seasonings; toss to combine. Stir in enough boiling water to reach
  • desired moistness; transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
  • Bake, covered, for 1 hour. Uncover and bake 10-15 minutes longer or
  • until lightly browned.
  • Remove turkey from oven; cover loosely with foil and let stand 15
  • minutes before carving. If desired, skim fat and thicken pan
  • drippings for gravy. Serve with turkey and stuffing. Yield: 14
  • servings (8 cups stuffing).
Editor's Note: Stuffing can also be baked in turkey. Loosely stuff turkey just before baking; bake as directed, increasing final bake time by 15 minutes or until a thermometer reads 180° in thigh and 165° in center of stuffing.
