Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 (12-pound) turkey
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups baby carrots
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and place the turkey in a roasting pan.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and pepper. Rub this glaze mixture all over the turkey, making sure to coat it evenly.
-
Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for about 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the turkey with the glaze every 30 minutes during cooking.
-
While the turkey is roasting, prepare the candied carrots. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the baby carrots and sauté for 5 minutes.
-
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the carrots and stir until it melts and coats the carrots evenly. Drizzle the maple syrup over the carrots and continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the carrots are tender and coated in the glaze.
-
Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes. Serve the turkey with the candied carrots on the side.
