Honey and corn syrup blend with savory herbs and seasonings to give my turkey a slightly sweet flavor. My tried-and-true herb turkey recipe never fails to win compliments. —Charlene Melenka, Vegreville, Alberta

Ingredients

1 turkey (14 to 16 pounds)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1-1/4 teaspoons pepper, divided
1 cup honey
1 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon dried basil

Directions

Brush turkey with oil; tie drumsticks together. Place turkey breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Combine thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper; sprinkle evenly over turkey. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2 hours.
In a small bowl, combine honey, corn syrup, butter, rosemary, sage, basil and remaining salt and pepper. Brush over turkey. Bake until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°, about 90 minutes longer, basting frequently with pan drippings. Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.
Remove from oven. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
