Tips:
- Thaw the turkey in the refrigerator for 2-3 days before cooking, or thaw it in a cold water bath for 30 minutes per pound.
- Pat the turkey dry before seasoning and cooking to help the seasonings adhere and the skin crisp up.
- Season the turkey liberally with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also use a store-bought turkey seasoning mix.
- Roast the turkey breast-side up on a roasting rack in a preheated 325°F oven. This will help the breast meat cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
- Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with the honey glaze. This will help keep the turkey moist and flavorful.
- Roast the turkey until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the breast. This will take about 3-4 hours for a 12-14 pound turkey.
- Let the turkey rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Honey-glazed turkey is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion meal. With its crispy skin, moist meat, and flavorful glaze, this turkey is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Serve it with roasted potatoes, stuffing, and your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
