Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 F.
- Rinse the turkey inside and out. Pat dry with paper towels. Place the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Rub the turkey with the butter oil and garlic cloves. Loosely tie the legs together. Place into the middle of the oven.
- When the skin is light (after about 1 1/2 hours) cover the breast with a tent of foil to prevent overcooking the breast. Check the doneness after the bird has roasted about 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Turkey is done when the thigh is pierced deeply and juices run clear or when the breast muscle reaches 170 to 175 F.
- Remove the turkey from the oven. Let it stand about 20 minutes to allow juices to settle in the meat. Deglaze the pan by adding 1/2 cup water. Stir to scrape up browned bits. Pour pan drippings into a gravy separator. Reserve 1 cup of defatted pan drippings for sauce.
- In a pan, stir together the vinegar, defatted pan drippings, rosemary olive oil, mustard and brown sugar. Warm the sauce over low heat on the stove until steam "escapes." Don't boil.
- Carve the turkey and drizzle turkey slices with the warmed balsamic glaze.
