This roasted turkey with orange liqueur offers a sophisticated twist on a classic roast. By combining aromatic dried basil and oregano with a hint of cayenne pepper and citrus liqueur, the bird develops a complex, savoury depth. The addition of sliced oranges and root vegetables inside the cavity ensures the meat remains succulent while infusing the juices with a bright, zesty fragrance that elevates the traditional gravy.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe prioritises lean protein and natural aromatics over heavy fats or sugary glazes. It is an excellent choice for a healthy Sunday lunch or a festive celebration, providing a centrepiece that is both nutritious and full of flavour. Serve with a plethora of roasted Mediterranean vegetables or a crisp green salad for a balanced, vibrant meal.
