A bold, flavorful masterpiece featuring juicy meat, crispy skin, and a perfect balance of sweet and spicy cranberry-sriracha glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • One whole turkey (12-14 pounds), fresh or thawed, spatchcocked
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper, for seasoning
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 2–3 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, fresh or dried
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and position a rack in the center.
  2. Place the turkey breast-side down on a cutting board. Using kitchen shears, cut along both sides of the backbone and remove it. Flatten the bird by pressing down firmly on the breastbone until it cracks.
  3. Rub olive oil all over the turkey, then sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place the turkey on a roasting rack in your prepared pan.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh cranberries, sriracha, brown sugar, orange juice, minced garlic, and thyme. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Stir occasionally.
  5. Brush half the glaze over the turkey, ensuring an even coating. Roast the turkey for 30 minutes.
  6. Brush the remaining glaze over the turkey and continue roasting for another 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast.
  7. Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving. Serve with any extra glaze on the side.

Notes

[‘If your glaze thickens too much, add a splash of orange juice to loosen it up.’, ‘Cover the turkey loosely with foil if the skin starts to brown too quickly.’, ‘Letting the turkey rest ensures the juices redistribute for moist and flavorful meat.’]
