Juicy, Golden, and Perfect for Small Thanksgiving Gatherings

If you are hosting a smaller Thanksgiving celebration or want an easy alternative to roasting a whole bird, this Brecipe is just what you need. The Whynter TSO-488GB Countertop Oven makes it simple to achieve tender, flavorful meat with a beautiful golden glaze.

Why This Recipe Works

The combination of maple syrup and Dijon mustard creates a sweet and savory coating that caramelizes beautifully in the TSO-488GB. Using the steam function during the first half of cooking keeps the meat moist, while finishing with convection ensures a crisp, golden skin.
