Time 5h15m

Yield 22 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup butter
1 large onion, halved, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. ancho chile pepper powder
1 qt. (4 cups) water
2 pkg. (6 oz. each) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken
1 frozen turkey (14 lb.) thawed
1/3 cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing
1/2 cup honey, divided
1/2 cup fresh lime juice, divided

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large skillet on medium heat. Add onions and garlic; cook and stir 5 min. Add cumin and ancho powder; cook 1 min., stirring occasionally. Stir in 3 cups water; bring to boil. Add stuffing mixes; mix well. Cover; remove from heat. Let stand 5 min.; fluff with fork. Cool 15 min.
  • Meanwhile, remove and discard neck and giblets from turkey cavities. Free legs from tucked position, but do not cut the band of skin. Place turkey, breast side up, in roasting pan.
  • Heat oven to 325ºF. Stuff turkey with stuffing mixture; turn wings back to hold neck skin in place. Cover breast loosely with foil to prevent overbrowning.
  • Bake 3 hours, basting occasionally with pan juices. Meanwhile, combine dressing and 3 Tbsp. each honey and lime juice.
  • Uncover turkey; continue baking 45 min. to 1 hour or until done (165ºF), brushing with dressing mixture for the last 15 min. Remove turkey from oven; let stand 15 min. before carving. Meanwhile, remove excess fat from turkey drippings and pour into saucepan; add remaining lime juice and honey. Bring to boil, stirring frequently.
  • Serve turkey with warm sauce.
