Instructions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Remove giblets and neck from turkey. With skewers, fasten neck skin to back. Fold wings under. Tie legs together. Place turkey on rack, breast side up in a large roasting pan. Sprinkle salt all over turkey. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of thigh. Cover turkey with a loose tent of foil. Roast turkey 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, combine maple syrup and mustard in a small bowl.

During last 30 minutes of roasting, spoon maple mixture over turkey. Turkey is done when temperature in thickest part of thigh is 180 degrees and drumstick feels soft. Breast temperature should be 165 to 170 degrees. Place turkey on a large platter; cover and keep warm. Let stand 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a thick paste. Gradually stir in chicken broth, cider, Tabasco habanero sauce and salt until well blended. Simmer 5 minutes or until thickened. Serve gravy with turkey
