Add some sweet heat to your traditional roast turkey with a chipotle and cranberry glaze that's sure to be a new family favorite. Ingredients:
1 cup water |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries |
4 tablespoons tabasco® brand chipotle pepper sauce, divided |
3 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 (12 pound) turkey, rinsed and trussed |
Directions:
1. For cranberry glaze, combine water and sugar in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add cranberries and return to a boil, stirring occasionally for about 6 minutes or until berries pop and soften.
2. Transfer cranberries to a fine sieve set over a bowl and press contents through sieve. Discard solids and stir in 2 tablespoons of the TABASCO® Chipotle Sauce. Glaze can be refrigerated up to two days before using.
3. To prepare turkey, combine butter, salt, pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons TABASCO® Chipotle Sauce in a small bowl and mix well. Place turkey in a large roasting pan and brush with butter mixture. Bake in a 325 degrees F oven for approximately 11 minutes per pound for an unstuffed bird, or until an internal temperature of 180 degrees F is reached.
4. One hour and 20 minutes before the turkey is done, begin brushing it with cranberry glaze. Brush turkey liberally every 20 minutes, 3 separate times, and then roast turkey without basting for the last 40 minutes. Let rest at least 30 minutes before carving.
