Lovely vintage roasted turkey recipe when sweet maple flavours comes through even in the breast meat.

Preheat oven to 325°.

Place turkey on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Tuck wings under turkey; tie drumsticks together.

In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, cranberry sauce and walnuts. Pour over turkey.

Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170° to 175°, basting occasionally with pan drippings, 3 to 3-1/2 hours. Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.

Cover and let stand for 20 min before carving.
