Return turkey to oven; continue baking, uncovered, 25-35 minutes or until Pocket Thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 170°F. Remove turkey from oven. Cover; let stand 10 minutes before carving.

Meanwhile, heat remaining sauce over medium heat until warm. Carve turkey with 8" Self-Sharpening Canring Knife. Stir pilaf just before serving, serve with turkey and sauce.

COOK'S TIP

After removing the turkey from the oven, cover it and let it stand for 10 minutes. This standing time will allow the internal temperature of the meat to rise to 180°F, the proper doneness temperature for turkey.
