This was a very good turkey recipe that I was able to whip up because I had all the ingredients on hand. I served it with mashed sweet potatoes and broccoli and it was a very nice meal. I'll definitely add this to my repertoire. I followed the recipe as written.

This is an amazing recipe. I used turkey thighs (it was all I could find) so it took longer to cook but the sauce was so good. I used a tablespoon dijion and a tablspoon spicy brown mustard. I'm not a huge mustard so I was worried it would be overpowering but it I could hardly taste the mustard. I also added a little bit thyme to give the turkey a woody flavor. I served it with mashed potatos and asparagus. It made a lovely Sunday dinner (even though I don't ussually cook on Sundays)
