Manuka Honey Glazed Turkey
A turkey is at the center of the Thanksgiving holiday. Here is a tip to get that beautiful golden roasted turkey: Tent the turkey loosely with foil to delay browning of the breast. Remove foil during the last 50 minutes to allow the turkey to brown. Also, baste every 20 minutes to keep the bird moist.
