Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Turkey

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey in a large roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Make the Honey Glaze

    In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and olive oil until well combined.

  3. 3

    Glaze the Turkey

    Brush the honey glaze over the turkey, ensuring to cover it evenly. Reserve some glaze for basting during cooking.

  4. 4

    Roast the Turkey

    Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for about 2 to 2.5 hours, basting with the reserved glaze every 30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving. Serve with your favorite sides.
