* 1 large turkey for roasting (8-10 lbs)
* 3 tbsp orange juice
* 3 tbsp honey
* 3 tbsp cooking oil
* 3 large oranges
* 2 tbsp margarine or cooking oil
* salt and pepper
* 2 cup chicken stock or water
* ¼ cup orange marmalade
* ¼ cup white wine
* 1 small onion, peeled and chopped
* 2 tbsp butter
* 1 small chicken bouillon cube
* ¼ cup cream
* 2 tsp cornstarch, dissolved in some cold water
== Directions ==
# Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
# Cut turkey giblets into small pieces, set aside (for the sauce).
# Peel the oranges.
# Divide them into sections, then set aside for garnish.
# Cut the orange peel into half-inch slices.
# Melt the margarine in a small saucepan over high heat.
# Add the sliced orange peel, then saute quickly for a minute.
# Stuff the orange peel into the turkey.
# In a small bowl, mix together the honey, cooking oil, and orange juice.
# Brush all over the turkey, reserving half for later.
# Season the turkey with salt and pepper, truss and transfer to a large roasting pan, then roast in the oven at 375°F for about 1 hour.
# Brush the rest of the honey-orange mixture on the turkey, then return to the oven and roast for 60 - 90 minutes more, until it is cooked.
# You can check by using a meat thermometer - the internal meat temperature must reach at least 160°F (71°C).
# After it is cooked, turn off the heat and leave in the oven for about 15 - 20 minutes more before serving.
