Ingredients

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
1/4 cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Place the first 10 ingredients in a blender; cover and process until blended. Place turkey on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Tuck wings under turkey; tie drumsticks together. Roast, uncovered, 1 hour.
Reduce oven setting to 325°. Brush turkey with half of the glaze. Roast 1-1/2 to 2 hours longer or until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°, brushing turkey with remaining glaze during the last 45 minutes. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.)
Remove turkey from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 20 minutes before carving.
