- 60 ml (1/4 cup) brown sugar
- 10 ml (2 tsp.) cider vinegar

In a bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, cider vinegar and Dijon mustard. Spread over turkey roll. Roast in centre of oven for 1 hour. You can also use a meat thermometer: roast is cooked when thermometer reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste with pan juices twice while roasting. Place roast on a serving platter, cover with foil and let stand for a few minutes. Remove fat from pan juices, slice turkey and serve with your choice of vegetables.
