Smoked paprika, coriander, cumin, chili and curry powder balance off sweet honey in this intoxicatingly delicious glaze for your holiday turkey.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 2 Tbsps coriander
  • 2 Tbsps smoked paprika
  • 2 Tbsps curry powder
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 2 Tbsps coconut oil melted
  • 1 cup honey

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  • Add honey to a saucepan over a low flame, and stir till it thins for about 30-60 seconds or so.
  • Then add in the turmeric, coriander, smoked paprika, curry powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, ginger powder, and coconut oil and stir till spices and coconut oil are well incorporated.
  • Using a culinary brush, brush entire turkey with spiced honey mixture.
  • Place in oven and bake at 425 degrees F for 30 minutes. Then lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue cooking. Every 35-40 minutes, open oven and brush the spiced honey mixture over the turkey. If you notice that the wings or legs of the turkey are beginning to burn, then tent the turkey with foil and let cook till the thickest part of thigh registers 165 degrees F – according to package instructions, a 12-15 lb turkey should take about 3-3.5 hours. Remove from oven and let turkey rest for at least 30 minutes before carving and enjoying.
  • If there’s any leftover spiced honey mixture, you can add about a ¼ cup honey to it and simmer it for about 3-5 minutes and serve it alongside the Spiced Honey Glazed Turkey.
