Original Recipe Yield 16 servings

Ingredients

1 (16 pound) turkey
1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
1 cup honey
1 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon dried basil

Directions

Brush turkey with oil; tie the drumsticks together. Place turkey breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Combine the thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper; sprinkle evenly over turkey. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees F for 2 hours.
In a small bowl, combine the honey, corn syrup, butter, rosemary, sage, basil and remaining salt and pepper. Brush over turkey. Bake 2 hours longer or until a meat thermometer reads 180 degrees F, basting frequently with pan drippings. Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes before carving.
