16 pound Fresh turkey
1 tablespoon Chopped sage
1 tablespoon Chopped thyme
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
2 Onions; chopped
3 Carrots; chopped
2 Ribs celery; chopped
3 tablespoon Molasses
3 tablespoon Soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water. Dry thoroughly with paper
towels. Season inside and out with sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Stuff
turkey loosely with your favorite stuffing and truss. Place the turkey in a
roasting pan with the chopped vegetables and place in the center of the
oven.

In a bowl, whisk the molasses, soy and mustard together. During the last 2
hours of roasting, baste the turkey every 20 to 30 minutes with the
molasses mixture. The skin will become dark. Tent with foil, if necessary.
The turkey should take approximately 4 One half hours to cook. Let the turkey
rest for 20 to 25 minutes before carving.
