Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the bourbon, Dijon mustard, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
-
Place the turkey in a roasting pan, breast side up. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels.
-
Carefully loosen the skin over the turkey breast and spread some of the bourbon and mustard glaze under the skin.
-
Brush the remaining glaze generously over the entire turkey, ensuring it is evenly coated.
-
Tent the turkey loosely with foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 3 to 3 1/2 hours, basting occasionally with the pan drippings.
-
Remove the foil tent during the final hour of cooking to allow the skin to brown and crisp up.
-
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part of the thigh without touching the bone.
-
Once the turkey is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving.
-
Carve the turkey and serve with your favorite side dishes.
