Baked Turkey Ham (Printable)
Tender turkey ham glazed with honey and mustard, baked to juicy, golden slices.
# What's Needed:
→ Turkey
01 - 3.3 lbs boneless fully cooked turkey ham
→ Glaze
02 - 3 tbsp honey
03 - 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
04 - 2 tbsp brown sugar
05 - 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
06 - 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
07 - 1/4 tsp ground cloves (optional)
→ Garnish
08 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - Heat oven to 350°F. Line a roasting pan with foil and lightly grease it.
02 - Place the turkey ham on the prepared pan and score the surface with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern about 0.4 inches deep.
03 - Combine honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and optional ground cloves in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
04 - Brush half of the glaze evenly over the turkey ham, ensuring it seeps into the scored cuts.
05 - Loosely cover the ham with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
06 - Remove foil, brush with remaining glaze, and bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, basting once more halfway through, until the surface is golden and caramelized.
07 - Allow the ham to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
