Try this simple, four-ingredient glaze as an inexpensive way to add savory flavor to roast turkey.

Maple Mustard Glazed Turkey

1/3 cup Dijon mustard

1/2 cup maple-flavor syrup

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 Butterball® Turkey (12 to 14 pounds), thawed if frozen

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Combine first four ingredients together. Set aside.
3. Remove neck and giblets from body and neck cavities of turkey; refrigerate for another use or discard. Drain juices from turkey; pat dry with paper 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.
4. Roast turkey 2 hours*. Brush with 1/4 cup of the glaze. Loosely cover breast and tops of drumsticks with aluminum foil to prevent breast from overcooking and glaze from darkening too much. Brush with additional 1/4 cup of the glaze after 30 minutes.
5. Continue roasting turkey about 1 hour, or until meat thermometer reaches 180°F (85°C) when inserted in thickest part of thigh. Remove turkey from oven. Brush with remaining glaze.
6. Let turkey stand 15 minutes before carving.

Makes: 3/4 cup glaze and 12 servings of turkey.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 3 hours 40 minutes

*Follow cooking times according to package directions; times vary by size of turkey.
