Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. In 1-quart saucepan, heat brown sugar, orange peel, orange juice and cranberry sauce to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Cool completely. Set aside 1/2 cup cranberry mixture for basting; refrigerate remaining cranberry mixture for serving.
2 Fold wings across back of turkey so tips are touching. Tie legs together with heavy string. On rack in shallow roasting pan, place turkey, breast side up. Brush butter over turkey. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of inside thigh and does not touch bone.
3 Roast uncovered 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours, basting with 1/2 cup cranberry mixture after 2 hours. Turkey is done when thermometer reads at least 165°F and legs move easily when lifted or twisted. Place turkey on warm platter; cover with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before carving. Serve with reserved cranberry mixture. Garnish with herbs, cranberries and kumquats.

This recipe was delicious. The turkey was nice & moist. The sauce gave it a great sweet & tart taste. If you like cranberry sauce, you will like this glaze. It was a hit this thanksgiving! Just one thing, make sure that you continuously baste after the 2.5 hour mark. Keeps the bird juicy.
