Reduce the heat to 350 and place turkey in oven. Make glaze of equal parts Kahlua and apricot preserves. Sounds weird, but it is delicious. Baste turkey with glaze right over the top of the cheesecloth. (The taste actually permeates the meat.) Peel the cloth off before presentation (bird is a dark, rich brown) and serve w/ sauce. Vickis notes: * The basic technique is from "Joy of Cooking," although Rombauer says to put it on a rack. The glaze is from the Kahlua company. * The only time I used pop-up indicators is when I was given turkeys that had them. I ignored the indicator --> used standard cooking chart for weight (should be on turkey). You know how the turkey keeps cooking even when its not in the oven? Sure enough, after he had been out of oven long enough to serve, the indicator FINALLY popped up!
