  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup cane syrup
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions

  2. Preheat oven to 425°.
  3. Add oil to a 14-inch cast-iron skillet. Pat turkey dry with paper towels; place turkey in skillet.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat butter, cane syrup, wine, and rosemary over low heat. Keep warm.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 350°, and bake until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 165°, 2 to 2½ hours more, basting with syrup mixture every 30 minutes. Let stand for 20 minutes before slicing.
