Combine honey and vinegar in small saucepan. Heat on medium heat to boiling. Reduce heat to simmer. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in ketchup, rosemary, salt and pepper. Simmer 2 minutes longer, stirring frequently. Cool to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Remove neck and giblets from body and neck cavities of turkey; refrigerate for another use or discard. Drain juices from turkey; pat dry with paper towels. Turn wings back to hold neck skin in place against back of turkey. Place turkey, breast side up, on flat rack in shallow roasting pan.
Bake turkey 2 hours. Brush with some of the glaze. Loosely cover breast and tops of drumsticks with aluminum foil to prevent overcooking and glaze from darkening too much. Brush with additional glaze after 30 minutes.
Continue baking turkey about 1 hour, or until meat thermometer reaches 180°F when inserted in thickest part of thigh. Remove turkey from oven. Brush with additional glaze. Let turkey rest 15 minutes before carving.
