    A Large Bird for Every Occasion

    The wonderful thing about cooking a whole turkey is how incredibly versatile it is. Thanksgiving turkey? Christmas bird? Regular old Sunday dinner? Check, check and check. When it comes down to it, this Apple Honey Glazed Turkey is a great recipe for any occasion.

    Overview of various plates and ingredients to make apple honey glazed turkey.

    Let's Get Basting

    In addition to being super tasty, this recipe is also easy to pull together. It comes with a list of less than ten ingredients, most of which you may already have on hand. It truly allows for the turkey and seasonal flavours shine. The use of apple cider, fresh sage leaves and honey creates a glaze fit for any gathering!

    Pro Tip

    When it comes to cooking turkey, don't be a hero: use a meat thermometer. The general rule is to cook it 13 minutes for every pound of turkey, but the safest and easiest way to roast the perfect turkey is by using an intant-read thermometer. It takes all of the guess work out of roasting, and avoids undercooking or overcooking the protein. So stick that prob into the thickest part of the breast, the thickest part of the thigh and the innermost part of the wing.

    Special Equipment

    Much like the ingredients, this recipe requires very little kitchen tools.

    • Large roasting pan
    • Small bowl
    • Kitchen twine
    • Meat thermometer
    • Aluminum foil
    • Serving platter
    • Cutting board

    Ingredient List

    I wasn't kidding when I said that this Apple Honey Glazed Turkey has a short list of ingredients. Keeping the grocery list small is always a bonus!

    • Butter
    • Fresh Sage
    • Honey
    • White Wine Vinegar
    • Apple Cider
    • Ground Cinnamon
    • Kosher Salt

    Roast Turkey For Many Meals

    If you aren't already sold on turkey dinners, let me lay it out for you; cooking an entire turkey is a great time and money saver. One large bird can be repurposed into 3 or 4 meals with the right planning. From soup, sandwiches, pasta and more, choosing turkey is the perfect option when it comes to leftovers.

    Turkey is honestly such an awesome economical option once you realize how far one whole bird can go!
