Ingredients
1 small turkey; 10-12 pounds
2 tablespoon hazelnut or peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon dried spicebush berries or allspice
1 salt and ground pepper; to taste
1 small bunch wild onions or green onions
4 tablespoon honey
Cooking Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Remove giblets from turkey and reserve for gravy if desired. Rinse turkey and pat dry. Rub inside and out with oil and season with sage, spicebush berries, salt and pepper. Stuff neck and body cavities with onions and truss, if desired.
Place turkey in roasting pan. Roast, allowing 18 to 20 minutes per pound, until juices run clear with no hint of pink when thigh is pierced. During the last hour of cooking, baste turkey two to three times with honey, A good pan gravy can be made if you are pan roasting the turkey, though if you are spit roasting you will not have the drippings.
Garnish with a string of cranberries, if desired. Serves 8-10.
Serving Ideas : serve with giblet pan gravy.
NOTES : use a decorative string of cranberries with bay or sage leaves.
