Method

  1. Zest an orange2 and juice it. Mix the juice, zest, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic5, oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary in a bowl.

  2. Rub the turkey1 leg with the marinade and let it sit uncovered at room temperature for 15 minutes.

  3. Place the turkey1 leg skin-side up in a roasting pan and pour any leftover marinade over it.

  4. Roast at 375°F (190°C) for 60 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices.

  5. Increase heat to 410°F (210°C) and roast another 10–15 minutes until the glaze is glossy and the juices run clear when pricked.

  6. Let the meat rest 7 minutes, then slice into portions.

Tips

Why it works
Маринуй индейку при комнатной температуре, чтобы мясо прогрелось равномерно и не осталось сырым внутри. Холодное мясо запечётся неравномерно.
Substitutions
Замени апельсины лимоном (120 г) — кислота будет сильнее, но глазурь получится гуще. Вместо розмарина возьми тимьян (2 г), если нет свежего.
Common mistakes
Если сок при проколе не прозрачный, а розовый, мясо не доварилось. Продолжай запекать ещё 5–10 минут.
Storing and reheating
Храни в холодильнике 3 дня. Разогревай в духовке при 160 °C 15 минут с ложкой воды в форме, чтобы не пересохло.
Serve with
Подавай с картофельным пюре или отварным рисом, чтобы смягчить кисло-сладкий вкус глазури.
