Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 lb whole turkey thawed
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 325F, pat the turkey dry, and season inside and out with salt and pepper.
  2. Roast on a rack about 2.5 hours, until the breast nears 150F.
  3. Simmer pomegranate juice, honey, butter, and rosemary into a syrupy glaze.
  4. Brush the glaze over the turkey and roast 30-40 more minutes until it reaches 165F.
  5. Rest 20 minutes under foil before carving so the juices settle.

Notes

Scatter fresh pomegranate seeds on the platter for sparkle.
