Thanksgiving is right around the corner and on behalf of all of us here at The Honey Ladies we wish all of you a wonderful and joyous time with your friends and family.

With that being said, here is a recipe that we recommend for your Thanksgiving meal:

Honey-Glazed Turkey Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds)
• GLAZE:
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
• 1-1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• STUFFING:
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 2 cups chopped onion
• 1-1/2 cups chopped celery
• 12 cups unseasoned stuffing cubes or dry bread cubes
• 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
• 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups boiling water

Directions

1. Place turkey on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Tuck wings under turkey; tie drumsticks together. Bake at 325° for 2 hours.
2. In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients; brush over turkey. Bake 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours longer or until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°. Baste occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.)
3. For stuffing, in a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook and stir until tender. Add stuffing cubes and seasonings; toss to combine. Stir in enough boiling water to reach desired moistness; transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake, covered, for 1 hour. Uncover and bake 10-15 minutes longer or until lightly browned.
4. Remove turkey from oven; cover loosely with foil and let stand 15 minutes before carving. If desired, skim fat and thicken pan drippings for gravy. Serve with turkey and stuffing. Yield: 14 servings (8 cups stuffing).

Editor's Note: Stuffing can also be baked in turkey. Loosely stuff turkey just before baking; bake as directed, increasing final bake time by 15 minutes or until a thermometer reads 180° in thigh and 165° in center of stuffing.
