With Thanksgiving right around the corner I am been looking for some yummy recipes. I have been the turkey cooker for about 8 years now and I found this recipe that I can't wait to try this year. It is from the Best of Cooking Light recipe book (Love it!). Hopefully it turns out well or else I will have some unhappy campers on the 25th.
3/4 C apple cider
5 TBS dark corn syrup, divided
1 (12 pound) fresh or frozen turkey, thawed
1 TBS poultry seasoning
1 TBS dried rubbed sage
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 garlic cloves, sliced
2 onions quartered
2 Golden delicious apples, cored, quartered
Cooking Spray
1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Combine cider and 4 TBS corn syrup in a saucepan; bring to boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Rinse turkey with cold water; pat dry. Trim excess fat. Combine poultry seasoning, sage, salt and pepper. Rub seasoning mixture into skin and body cavity. Place half of garlic, onion and apples into body cavity. Place turkey in a shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Arrange remaining garlic, onion and apple around turkey in pan. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes.
4. Baste turkey with cider syrup; cover with foil.
5. Bake at 375 for an additional 2 hours and 15 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 180, basting with cider syrup 4 different times.
Tip for Gravy
1. Strain drippins through a colander into a bowl; discard solids. Pour drippings into a ziplock bag inside a 2 cup glass; let stand 10 minutes (fat will rise to top). Seal bag; carefully snip off 1 corner of bag. drain drippins into a bowl, stopping before fat layer reaches opening. Throw away fat. Then make as usual.
