Rub the turkey on all sides, including under the skin, with butter, maple syrup, and chipotle peppers, then roast until golden brown. The skin will be crispy and the meat will be juicy, full of the sweet and smoky flavor of the smoky chipotles.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Let the turkey stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Remove the turkey giblets and set aside for another use. Trim off any fatty bits near the cavity or neck and discard. Pat the turkey dry inside and out with paper towels and generously season with salt and pepper inside and out.
- Place the butter, maple syrup, chipotle pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Carefully separate the skin from the turkey breast and push half of the butter mixture under the skin over the breast meat. Rub the remaining butter all over the skin. Tie the legs together with twine. Tuck the wings under the turkey and place the turkey, breast-side up, on the rack in a roasting pan.
- Roast until the turkey is just beginning to brown, about 25 minutes. Cover the breast loosely with foil, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Continue roasting until a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 155°F (68°C).
- Remove the foil and continue roasting until the internal temperature of the thigh reaches 165°F (74°C), about 30 minutes more. Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest for about 30 minutes before slicing.
