Roasted Turkey with Maple Cranberry Glaze image

I prepare turkey with a taste of Canada in mind. The sweet maple flavor comes through even in the breast meat. You may start to notice it's caramelized color after about 2 hours. That's when I cover it loosely with foil while it finishes cooking. The meat will stay tender and juicy. -Suzanne Anctil, West Vancouver, British Columbia

This recipe was a disaster! The turkey was dry and the glaze was too sweet. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The glaze was a little too sweet for my taste, but the turkey was cooked perfectly. I would probably use a different glaze next time.

The turkey was dry and the glaze was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This is the best turkey recipe I've ever tried! The glaze is amazing and the turkey is always cooked perfectly. I've made this recipe for the last three Thanksgivings and it's always a hit.

The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the turkey itself was cooked perfectly. I would probably use a different glaze next time.
