Want to give your turkey something a little but extra? Try this maple roasted recipe from Everyday Food magazine. The turkey stayed very moist, without constant basting. I used store-bought stuffing made with chicken broth (use a little extra than the package indicated for moist, more flavorful stuffing). You can add a little homemade touch to your stuffing by adding chopped onions, celery, and/or apples. Apples would also go great with this maple glaze.
1 turkey 12-14 lbs, thawed
salt and pepper
butter
1/3 cup maple syrup
ready made stuffing
Preheat oven to 350F
Remove neck, giblets, and liver from turkey as package describes. Rinse turkey and pat try. Place stuffing in turkey and secure appropriately. Place turkey on a rack/roasting pan. Pour 2 cups water into roasting pan.
Brush turkey with melted butter and season generously with salt and pepper. Tent turkey with aluminum foil and roast for about 1 hour.
After about an hour, baste turkey with pan drippings or additional butter. Add more water to pan as needed. Repeat this process again in an hour.
After 3 hours, remove aluminum foil and baste turkey with maple syrup. Continue to baste with syrup every 15-20 minutes until turkey reaches 180F (about 3 1/3 to 4 hours). Continue to add water to pan as needed. Let turkey rest 15-20 minutes before removing stuffing and carving the meat.
