Maple-Glazed Turkey

I'm trying out a new recipe this year for the turkey. I always like to do something different with the main dish to make it as yummy as possible until I find the perfect recipe. 

I'm going for a maple glazed turkey and it sounds so good! This recipe comes with it's own cranberry sauce but I will also be making a different version for a side. Gotta have cranberry sauce! Let's get to it so we can get our grub on! This recipe is for a 15 lb. turkey.

Ingredients 

1 turkey

5 Tbs. butter, at room temp, and divided

1 packet concentrated chicken broth

1 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley

1 Tbs. minced shallots

1 Tbs. minced garlic

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 bag frozen cranberries

1/2 cup maple syrup

3/4 cup cranberry juice

3/4 apple cider

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a small bowl, mix 4 Tbs. of butter with the next 5 ingredients.

Season with salt and pepper; spread under skin and over turkey skin.

Place turkey on rack set in roasting pan; tie legs together. Roast 4 1/2 hours or until 175 degrees F.

Cover loosely with foil; let sit 10 minutes before slicing and gobbling up.

In a pan over medium-high heat, bring last 4 ingredients, 1 Tbs. butter, 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer until cranberries burst, around 8 minutes or so. You can strain it if you want to. Serve this up with that delicious turkey and enjoy with all your other fixin's until you can't move!
