Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 (16 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed; 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper; 1 teaspoon ground thyme; 1 cup honey; 1/2 cup melted butter; 2 teaspoons dried sage leaves; 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley; 1 teaspoon dried basil; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Servings: persons

1 (16 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 cup honey
1/2 cup melted butter
2 teaspoons dried sage leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Rinse the turkey, and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Brush the turkey with olive oil, inside and out.
2
Mix 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and the thyme in a small bowl, and sprinkle the turkey with the mixture.
3
Place the turkey on a rack set in a roasting pan, and roast in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
4
In a bowl, stir together the honey, melted butter, sage, parsley, basil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Brush the turkey with the honey glaze, and return to the oven.
5
Roast the turkey until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 2 more hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Continue to brush the turkey with the honey glaze frequently as it roasts. Remove the turkey from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
