Try Beezy Beez Honey This Thanksgiving: Honey Glaze Recipe for that Perfect Turkey

When you think about purchasing a jar of Beezy Beez New York Raw Honey, you might begin brainstorming how to incorporate the sweetest of New York’s local food scene into your Thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving is a time for family, flavor, fall colors, and who could forget the main attraction of the day- Turkey! As I was browsing ideas for a honey glaze, I spotted a recipe that would be sure to be simple to fix and even amaze your guests. Everyone appreciates a good meal, and because Thanksgiving is approaching, it is best to gather any information on recipes now rather than later. A recipe like this honey glaze will help the turkey be the shining star of your Thanksgiving dinner!

Thanksgiving has been one of my favorite holidays for as long as I can remember, and my parents have been proudly hosting the holiday for more than 30 years, beginning back when they were newlyweds. Every Thanksgiving, my mom starts cooking at 8:00 AM sharp, and my sister and I await the food to be ready. For a while, we channel surf between the exciting Dog Show and NFL Football. When guests arrive, then I assume it’s time for appetizers- which are usually olives, walnuts, cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, or a smorgasbord of italian meats like salami and prosciutto. I try not to fill up on the tasty apps, because I like to save a lot of room for the turkey. It is custom in my house to cook two turkeys, one in the oven, and a second one in a deep fryer which is cooked crispy and golden. I watch and wait patiently for the turkey to be ready. It’s my favorite dish on the menu, with stuffing being a close second. There’s nothing more Thanksgiving than sliced turkey topped with stuffing, drenched in the juiciest gravy. Yum! 

I do want to add, sometimes change is good, even if it’s for a little while. If you feel in the mood to change the recipe this year and swap your traditional turkey for a turkey glazed with Beezy Beez Raw Honey, following these steps will help a lot especially if this is your first time making a honey glazed turkey. 

To make the perfect honey glaze you will need:

1 Cup of 12 oz Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey

2 Cups of Brown Sugar

½ Cup of Dijon Mustard (Any brand that you prefer is fine to use)

2 Tablespoons of unsalted butter

2 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar

Place your ingredients for the glaze into a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a simmer by stirring nicely, breaking up lumpy chunks of sauce, so that the glaze is smooth and shiny. Once the turkey is fully roasted, handle it carefully out of the oven, and baste it with your Beezy Beez Honey glaze. Place the turkey back into the oven uncovered, for 20-30 minutes more. 

Thanksgiving is an important day for me and my family every year, as it’s a gathering of being appreciative of the memories we get to make in life, and giving thanks to one another for their presence, traditions, and unconditional love.
