- Thaw turkey, if frozen. Place oven rack in lower third of oven; preheat oven to 425°F. Spray roasting rack with nonstick cooking spray; place rack in shallow roasting pan and set aside.
- Remove and discard the neck and giblets or reserve for another use. Twist turkey wing tips under back. Tie drumsticks together with kitchen string.
- Place turkey, breast side up, on rack in roasting pan. Brush entire turkey with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 1 cup water to bottom of roasting pan. Roast the turkey for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Continue roasting for 2 hours more or until internal temperature reaches 150°F in thickest part of thigh away from bone.
- Meanwhile, prepare Apple-Sage Glaze. Remove turkey from oven and brush with half of the glaze. Return to oven; roast turkey for 15 minutes more.
- Brush turkey again with remaining glaze. Loosely cover turkey with foil to prevent overbrowning; continue roasting until internal temperature reaches 175°F to 180°F in thickest part of thigh or 165°F in the breast. Let stand for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
Apple-Sage Glaze:
In a small saucepan, stir together ½ cup apple jelly, ½ cup apple juice or cider, ¼ cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage and 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer for 15 minutes or until slightly thickened and reduced by half, stirring occasionally.
