Instructions

  1. 1
    Spatchcock turkey by removing backbone with kitchen shears and pressing flat. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. 2
    Rub turkey all over (including under skin) with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. 3
    In a bowl, whisk orange zest and juice, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, melted butter, soy sauce, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and smoked paprika.
  4. 4
    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place herb sprigs and orange slices under a rack in your roasting pan. Position turkey on rack, breast-side up, tucking wings.
  5. 5
    Brush turkey generously with glaze, reserving a third for later. Pour broth in pan.
  6. 6
    Roast 30 minutes, then reduce oven to 375°F (190°C). Baste with glaze every 20 minutes, roast 45-55 minutes more or until skin is caramelized and internal temp is 160°F.
  7. 7
    Rest turkey 20 minutes. Carve, brush with remaining glaze, and garnish with orange slices and herbs before serving.
