I have two Roasted Turkey Recipes using a Chinese Orange Sauce (like Duck)

Both are easy and a change to the same old Thanksgiving Turkey.

Recipe 1: Roasted Turkey with Orange Hoisin Glaze

This recipe is for a roasted turkey with an orange hoisin glaze. 

The glaze is made with:

orange juice, 

hoisin sauce, 

ginger, garlic, and 

soy sauce. 

It is brushed on the turkey while it is roasting, which gives it a sweet and savory flavor.

Ingredients:

1 whole turkey, thawed

1/2 cup orange juice

1/4 cup hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon grated ginger

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, hoisin sauce, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.

Place turkey in a roasting pan and brush with vegetable oil.

Pour glaze over turkey and roast for 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes.

Continue to roast until turkey is cooked through, about 1 hour longer.

Let turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving.
