Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Bourbon
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it becomes frothy.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the maple syrup, bourbon, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce. Mix well to combine the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the flavors meld and the glaze to thicken slightly.
Stir in the fresh rosemary, thyme, and ground black pepper. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the glaze from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Brush the glaze generously over the turkey during the last 30 minutes of roasting. Reapply every 10 minutes to build up a caramelized and flavorful coating.
Serve the turkey with a small bowl of the leftover glaze on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
