½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried crushed thyme
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Categories main-dish

Time 5h10m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

One 16- to 18-pound turkey
1 large yellow onion, quartered
1 orange, quartered
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter, softened
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup orange juice
1 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 shallots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups turkey drippings or chicken stock (or a combination)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
For the turkey: Pat the turkey dry, inside and out. Place the onion and orange quarters into the cavity, tie the drumsticks together and tuck the wings under the bird.
Rub butter all over the skin, then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place the turkey on a rack set over a roasting pan. Roast for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring the orange juice and maple syrup to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat.
After 25 minutes, turn down the oven to 375 degrees F and glaze the turkey with the orange-maple mixture. Continue to roast, glazing the turkey every 25 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F, 3 to 4 hours more, depending on the oven. Let rest for 15 minutes.
For the gravy: Meanwhile, Heat the olive oil and butter in a thick-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and thyme, and cook until brown. Add the flour; cook for 1 minute.
While whisking, slowly add the turkey drippings. Bring to a boil and cook, whisking, until thickened, 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Carve the turkey and serve with the gravy.

Ingredients

1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon snipped fresh marjoram or 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
1 (2 1/2-3 1/2 lb) boneless turkey breast
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Cook and stir 1 minute more.
Stir in maple syrup and orange peel; set aside.
Brush the turkey roast with melted butter and rub with remaining seasoning mixture.
Insert a meat thermometer near the center of the roast.
For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan.
Test for medium heat above the pan.
Place the turkey roast directly on the grill rack over the pan.
Cover; grill until thermometer registers 165°F Add coals to maintain heat every 30 minutes.
Brush with glaze the last 30 minutes of grilling.
Remove meat from grill.
Cover with foil; let stand for 15 minutes before carving. (The meat's temperature will rise 5F during standing).
Bring any remaining glaze to boiling; pass with turkey. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Grill as above.).
OR, use the oven @325 degrees until thermometer reaches 165F (should be about 1 1/2 hrs). Follow glazing and standing directions above.

Tips:

Using a roasting rack helps the turkey cook evenly and prevents it from sitting in its own juices.
To ensure the turkey is cooked thoroughly, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Let the turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
Make sure to use real maple syrup and freshly squeezed orange juice for the glaze. This will give the turkey a delicious and aromatic flavor.
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the turkey is cooked by piercing it with a fork. The juices should run clear, not pink.

Conclusion:

This maple-orange glazed turkey roast is a perfect centerpiece for any holiday meal. The combination of sweet maple syrup and tangy orange juice creates a flavorful and aromatic glaze that perfectly complements the roasted turkey. The turkey is cooked to perfection, resulting in a tender and juicy dish that is sure to impress your guests. Whether you're hosting a large family gathering or a small intimate dinner, this maple-orange glazed turkey roast is sure to be a hit.
