Ingredients:





    16 lb Fresh turkey


     1 tb Chopped sage


     1 tb Chopped thyme


          Salt and freshly ground


          -black pepper


     2    Onions; chopped


     3    Carrots; chopped


     2    Ribs celery; chopped


     3 tb Molasses


     3 tb Soy sauce


     1 tb Dijon mustard






 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.


 


 Rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water. Dry thoroughly with paper


 towels. Season inside and out with sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Stuff


 turkey loosely with your favorite stuffing and truss. Place the turkey in
a


 roasting pan with the chopped vegetables and place in the center of the


 oven.


 


 In a bowl, whisk the molasses, soy and mustard together. During the last 2


 hours of roasting, baste the turkey every 20 to 30 minutes with the


 molasses mixture. The skin will become dark. Tent with foil, if necessary.


 The turkey should take approximately 4 1/2 hours to cook. Let the turkey


 rest for 20 to 25 minutes before carving.
