Ingredients

• 1 - 10 Pounds (lb) whole turkey, thawed
• 1 - Whole lemon, sliced
• 1 - Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 - Pinch black pepper, to taste
• 1 - Small apple, peeled
• 1 - Small onion, peeled
• 1 - Small potato, peeled
• 6 - Ounces (oz) honey
• 3 - Ounces (oz) butter, melted
• 1 - Cup chicken stock

Steps

1. Pat the turkey dry inside and out with paper towels. Rub the lemon halves lightly over the skin of the turkey. Season the skin and cavity with salt and pepper. Place the lemon halves, apple, onion, and potato into the cavity. Place the turkey into a close-fitting roasting pan.
2. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together the honey and butter until the butter has melted and the mixture is evenly blended. Spoon the mixture over the turkey, coating the entire outer surface. Allow it to stand for 30 minutes, reapplying the honey mixture several times.
3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4. Bake the turkey in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, basting two or three times with pan drippings. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and cook for 30 minutes more, basting frequently. Add chicken stock to keep the pan juices from drying out, if needed.
5. Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and continue roasting until no longer pink near the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of roasting and baste with pan juices one last time.
6. Remove the turkey from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow it to rest in a warm area for 15 minutes before slicing.
