Instructions:

Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the brandy, dried rosemary, minced garlic, orange zest, and chicken broth.
Bring to a Boil: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Cook: Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Cool and Bast: Once the glaze has simmered for 2 minutes, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, use it to baste your turkey during the last two hours of cooking.
Serve: As your turkey roasts to golden perfection, basting it with this outstanding glaze, anticipate the savory aromas that will fill your kitchen. Once cooked, carve your turkey and serve it alongside this delectable glaze.

Serving Suggestions:

Drizzle the cherry glaze generously over slices of carved turkey for an irresistible burst of flavor.
Serve the glaze on the side as a dipping sauce for those who want an extra punch of tangy sweetness with each bite.
Pair your glazed turkey with traditional holiday sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce for a complete feast.

Tips:

For a deeper flavor profile, marinate your turkey in the cherry glaze overnight before roasting.
If you prefer a smoother consistency, strain the glaze before using it to remove any bits of rosemary or garlic.
Don’t limit this glaze to just turkey; it also pairs wonderfully with ham, chicken, and pork dishes.
