Honey-Glazed Turkey (continued)

Directions (continued)

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.
