Ingredients

  • 1 Shady Brook Farms Fresh Young Turkey
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325° F. Locate and set aside neck and giblets package from inside the turkey cavity. Unwrap the turkey in the sink and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Coat the outside of the turkey with butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place on a rack in a large roasting pan and roast for 1 hour.
  • Combine the chicken broth, pomegranate juice and maple syrup in a nonstick skillet and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 30 minutes.
  • After 1 hour of roasting, begin basting with the glaze. If the bird gets too dark, cover loosely with foil. Continue roasting until a thermometer inserted into the breast reaches 170° F.
  • Transfer the turkey to a platter, tent with foil and let rest 30 minutes before slicing.
