Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the turkey breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Tuck the wings under the turkey and tie the drumsticks together. Bake for 2 hours.
In a small bowl, mix the glaze ingredients. Brush the glaze over the partially baked turkey.
Bake for another 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes, or until a thermometer reads 170°-175°F in the thickest part of the thigh. Baste occasionally with pan drippings, covering with foil if it browns too quickly.
For the stuffing, melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook onion and celery until tender. Stir in stuffing cubes, seasonings, and enough boiling water for the desired moistness.
Transfer stuffing to a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Cover and bake for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to lightly brown.
Let the turkey rest for 15 minutes before carving. If desired, use pan drippings to make gravy.
