Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

- Place the turkey in the prepared baking dish and pour half of the glaze over it.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting every 20 minutes with remaining glaze.
