BOURBON & ORANGE BRINED TURKEY RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Bourbon & Orange Brined Turkey Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by ruhroh

Number Of Ingredients 17

FOR THE BRINE:
2 gallons cold water
1 to 1 1/2 cups bourbon
1 cup kosher salt, such as Morton's brand
1 cup brown sugar
1 large navel orange, sliced into 6 wedges
2 bay leaves, crumbled
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 3-inch cinnamon stick, coarsely broken
FOR THE TURKEY:
One 12 to 14 pound turkey, defrosted if frozen, giblets removed. Deep frying recommended maximum bird is 15 pounds. Smaller is ideal.
NOTE: Only use the following if oven roasting, smoking or grilling your bird:
1 large navel orange, sliced into 6 wedges
Several sprigs of fresh herbs, such as sage, thyme, rosemary, etc.
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • MAKE THE BRINE: In a large stockpot or other container large enough to hold the turkey and brine, combine the water, bourbon, salt, brown sugar, orange wedges (squeeze each wedge to release the juice), bay leaves, peppercorns, and cinnamon stick. Stir to dissolve the salt and sugar. Add the turkey to the brine, breast-side down, weighting it with resealable plastic bags filled with ice or cold water. Refrigerate the turkey and brine for 24 hours. When ready to cook, drain the turkey and discard the brine. Blot the turkey dry with paper towels and knock off any solid bits of spices. Remove any large gobbets of fat at the front of the main cavity. Put the orange wedges and herbs in the main cavity. Tie the legs together with butcher's string and fold the wings behind the back. Combine the butter and Grand Marnier, if using, and coat the outside of the turkey. Start your grill, oven or roaster - set to 350°F. Roast the turkey until it is deeply browned, the skin is crisp, and the internal temperature of the thickest part of a thigh is 165°F when read on an instant-read meat thermometer. If deep frying - heat oil to 375°F. When lowering the turkey into the oil it is recommended to turn off the burner. Once turkey is fully submersed light the burner and cook maintaining 350°F oil temperature. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per pound. Internal temperature should be 165 to 170°F in the breast, 175 to 180°F in the thigh. Remove and let grease drain. Set on paper towel to rest for 15 minutes.

ORANGE-TEA-BOURBON BRINED TURKEY WITH HONEY MUSTARD BUTTER



Orange-Tea-Bourbon Brined Turkey With Honey Mustard Butter image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 9h

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 fresh or frozen turkey (1 to 1 1/2 pounds per person)
Zest (in wide strips) and juice of 5 oranges
Kosher salt
1 cup sugar
12 black tea bags
4 bay leaves
6 cloves
12 peppercorns
1 cup bourbon
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons dijon mustard
3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard

Steps:

  • Unwrap the turkey and remove the neck and giblets (reserve for gravy). Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat dry. Fill a large pot with 2 quarts water; add the orange zest, orange juice, 2 cups kosher salt, the sugar, black tea bags, bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns and bourbon. Bring to a boil, then simmer 10 minutes. Add 4 quarts cold water and let cool. Submerge the turkey in the brine, adding water to cover, if necessary. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the turkey from the brine; rinse and pat dry. Mix the butter, honey, dijon mustard and spicy brown mustard until combined. Reserve 4 tablespoons of the butter, then rub the rest under the turkey skin on the breasts and legs. Rub 2 tablespoons of the reserved butter on the skin; chill and save the rest for your gravy. Let the turkey stand 30 minutes at room temperature before roasting.
  • Put the oven rack in the lowest position; preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a large roasting pan, tucking the wing tips under. Tie the drumsticks together with twine. Roast until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165 degrees F, about 15 minutes per pound. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 30 minutes before carving. Whisk the reserved 2 tablespoons flavored butter into your gravy just before serving, if desired.
