Instructions: To make the glaze, in a saucepan over high heat combine the garlic, ginger, shallots, cider, brandy, and sherry and reduce until about 1/2 cup of liquid remains. Add the thyme and stock and reduce again until about 1/2 cup remains. Season to taste with sweet soy sauce and set aside.

Place the turkey on a rack fitted in a roasting pan, and season well with salt and pepper. Roast the turkey in a standard or convection oven at 300 for about 2 hours, then brush it with the glaze. Continue to roast the turkey, brushing on additional glaze every 20 to 30 minutes, until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 155 , about 5 hours total cooking time.
