MY FAMOUS DRUNKEN TURKEY RECIPE
Steps:
- In a large sauce pan melt one stick of butter and then add in half of the bottle of wine, 1 tsp crushed garlic, 1.5 tsp onion powder, 2 cups chicken or turkey stock, 1 apple.
- Mix over low heat until combined.
- On the bottom of the roasting pan, place the carrots, celery, parsnips, turnips, onions, and garlic cloves.
- Rest the wire rack on top of the vegetables.
- With the breast side up, bend the wing tips underneath the bird.
- If you are stuffing the bird with homemade stuffing do so now. If not, insert these ingredients into the cavity: Apple, half an onion, 1 garlic clove, a carrot, and a celery stalk.
- Flip the bird over and tie the legs with cotton twine to the tail. Make sure it is tight, but tie it with a bow tie so it's easy to release later.
- Place the turkey on the wire rack inside the roaster.
- Rub soft butter on the skin all over the turkey. Even rub the butter underneath the skin on the turkey breast.
- Affix the neck skin to the breast using a toothpick.
- Cut the cheesecloth in half. Wrap the bottom of the turkey with one half of the cheesecloth and then wrap the top half with the other part of the cheesecloth. This makes it so much easier to remove later, trust me.
- Once the turkey is wrapped, place the turkey breast side up, pour the basting mixture over the bird with a large spoon or a baster.
- Flip the bird so that the breast is facing down in the roaster and baste the bottom side of the turkey.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes, then turn your oven down to 350 degrees for the remainder the of time.
- Baste every 30 minutes or at least once an hour - set a timer! Don't forget your turkey or it will be a sad.
- Use a huge spoon or a baster to get the basting mixture all over the turkey. You will need to remake the basting solution a few times, especially when you have a large turkey and basting every 30 minutes. An extra bottle of wine, butter, and stock are not a bad idea to have on hand just in case. Don't worry, you will use all of these drippings from the turkey to make the most amazing gravy that you have ever had!
- Halfway through the cooking time, turn the turkey over so it is breast side up using turkey lifters. At this time, you will want to melt another stick of butter and add the remaining wine to the basting mixture, if you haven't done so already.
- Bake the turkey until it has an internal temperature of 180 degrees. During the last hour, you might have to put aluminum foil over the legs so that they do not burn.
- Remove the turkey from the oven. Gently remove the cheesecloth so as not to remove the skin. The turkey should be a nice golden brown.
- Let the turkey rest for 20-30 minutes before you begin carving.
- Take all the drippings off the bottom of the roaster and use an immersion blender to mix it all together - you don't need to add anything else. Delicious!

Steps:
- For the dipping sauce: Puree the cranberry sauce, mayonnaise and orange zest in the bowl of a food processor until evenly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the bites: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Put the stuffing, turkey, Parmesan, rosemary and 1 egg in a medium bowl and mix well until the mixture is evenly moistened. Place the flour, remaining 2 eggs and the panko in 3 separate shallow bowls. Beat the eggs to break apart until 1 cohesive color.
- Shape 1 tablespoon of the turkey mixture into a ball. Press a piece of smoked mozzarella into the middle of the ball and reshape the mixture around the cheese. Bread the ball by rolling it first in the flour to coat, then the egg and lastly the panko. Repeat with the remaining turkey mixture and breading ingredients. Fry 4 to 5 or the balls at a time until deep golden brown and hot all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Serve hot alongside the dipping sauce.
GOOD OLD FASHIONED DRUNKEN TURKEY
This recipe came from much interest in the whiskey sitting in my cabinet for much too long. I was sure that people kept it around for some reason. I tried a sip...not bad. Decided my turkey might enjoy some too. Turns out the turkey liked it even better than I did! Hope you will to.

Steps:
- Rub turkey with olive oil massaging it gently and roughly alternatively the turkey likes to be fondled for some reason.
- Then sprinkle the marjoram over the bird.
- Again make sure the turkey is covered-- she doesn't enjoy bare breasts or legs!
- Using the needle and syringe, inject the turkey with 1/2 cup of old expensive whiskey in various locations.
- When you are sure you have enough alcohol in it, spread its legs and throw in some marjoram then tress the cavity.
- Loosely cover the bird with aluminum foil.
- Place in oven, consistently basting it with the liquid on the bottom (composed of water, vegetable scraps, and the juices from the hot, wet steamy bird).
- Baste approximately every thirty minutes for the recommended time: About 4 1/2 hours for a 16-20 pound bird at 325F or until internal turkey temperature is 185F During the last hour of baking, coat turkey with whisky or other liquor every 15 minutes.
- To make gravy: Take the bird out of the pan to cut.
- Skim off the gunk and take out the remains of the vegetable scraps.
- Put the pan over a burner on the stove and turn on medium heat.
- Make a sludge of a few spoons of flour and a little cold water, and mix into the hot pan liquids, stirring and scraping the pan.
- Throw in some scraps of meat and reduce liquid by 1/3.
- Have a drink of whiskey and enjoy!

Steps:
- Special equipment: forty 4-inch skewers or decorative toothpicks
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Spray a 10-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Cut a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom and the two long sides of the pan, leaving 2 inches of overhang on either side.
- In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, milk, eggs and mustard. Set aside to soak for 5 minutes. Add the peppers, shallots, turkey, basil and salt, and mix well with your hands until fully combined. Press the meatloaf mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then run a knife along the two parchment-free sides of the pan to release the loaf. Using the paper as handles, lift the meatloaf from the pan to a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature.
- When cool, place the meatloaf back in the pan and fold the parchment over the top to cover. Place a weight or heavy object on top of the loaf to press, and then place the whole thing in the refrigerator to chill completely, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
- To serve, unmold the meatloaf and cut it into 1-inch squares. Using 4-inch skewers or decorative toothpicks, skewer a grape, a piece each of celery and apple, and, lastly, a cube of meatloaf to use as a base. Stand the skewers upright on the meatloaf.
- Serve cold or at room temperature.

- Preheat the smoker. Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees F with your favorite hardwood. I like maple, pecan, apple, or cherry for this recipe.

- Smoke the bacon wrapped turkey bites. Arrange the turkey bites directly on the grill grates, making sure the bites aren't touching or too close together. Close the lid and smoke until the internal temperature is 130 degrees F.
- Make a BBQ braise. Transfer the partially-cooked bites to two half hotel pan sized aluminum pans. Increase the heat on your smoker (or turn your oven on to 400 degrees F). Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the bites. Drop the butter cubes in and 4 Tablespoons in each pan. Finally, drizzle the BBQ sauce over the turkey bites.
