towels. Turn wings back to hold neck skin in place Return legs
to the tucked position, if untucked. Place turkey, breast side
up, on flat rack in shallow roasting pan.

and glaze from darkening too much. Brush with additional 1/4
cup of the glaze after 30 minutes.

about 1 hour, or until meat thermometer reaches 180°F (85°C)
when inserted in thickest part of thigh. Remove turkey from oven.
