GOOD OLD FASHIONED DRUNKEN TURKEY



Good Old Fashioned Drunken Turkey image

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.

Time 4h50m

Yield 1 turkey

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 turkey (>22 pounds)
old expensive whiskey
olive oil
marjoram
aromatic vegetables, scraps (carrots, onions, celery, etc.)
flour

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!

BEER-CAN TURKEY



Beer-Can Turkey image

Provided by Cat Cora

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 to 24 ounces beer (in a can if using a beer-can turkey stand)
2 teaspoons spicy mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried chopped onion
1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground smoked cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 9-to-10-pound turkey (thawed if frozen)
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium (about 350 degrees F) on one side. Pour the beer into a turkey sitter (a ceramic stand that holds liquid). Or open the beer can, pour out a few tablespoons and place in a beer-can turkey stand.
  • Combine the mustard powder, garlic powder, dried onion, paprika, granulated garlic, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.
  • Remove the neck, giblets and any excess fat from the turkey; discard. Rinse the turkey under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the cavity with 2 to 3 teaspoons of the spice mixture. Brush the outside of the turkey with the canola oil and place drumstick-end down on the sitter or stand. Rub the remaining spice mixture all over the turkey.
  • Place the turkey (on the sitter or stand) on the cooler side of the grill. Cover and cook until the juices run clear and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 185 degrees F and 170 degrees F in the breast, 2 to 3 hours. Carefully remove the turkey from the grill, remove from the sitter or stand, and discard the beer. Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest at least 20 minutes before carving.

A GREAT Thanksgiving Day recipe for COOKING & MARINADING A TURKEY UPSIDE-DOWN, it has pleanty of flavor...and is SUPER MOIST!!!!...YES MOIST....this is good for those people who aren't a fan of Turkey because it's either "BLAND" or "TOO DRY"......IF YOU HAVE A FLAVOR INJECTOR OR SYRINGE THIS COMES OUT EVEN BETTER!!!!......**24-36 HOUR MARINADE TIME SUGGESTED!!!!**

Provided by ShoeDiva

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time P1DT17h

Yield 1 Turkey, 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

10 -25 lbs whole turkey (Fresh Turkey, Shady Brook Farms)
cheesecloth
5/8 ounce herbes de provence
1 1/2 liters Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky or 1 1/2 liters Bourbon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
3/4 cup melted lightly-salted butter
1 bunch fresh parsley
2 whole garlic cloves
1 bunch fresh marjoram
10 -15 fresh rosemary sprigs
10 -15 fresh thyme sprigs
20 fresh sage leaves
2 navel oranges or 2 blood oranges
1 large white onion
1/2 cup unmelted salted butter
saran plastic wrap or plastic wrap

Steps:

  • MARINADE PREP.
  • In a bowl put Cheese Cloth (you will need about 3-5 packages -- depending on the size of your Turkey) and 3-4 cups of MAKERS MARK, let Cheese Cloth soak up Bourbon.
  • Clean inside cavity of Turkey -- then Salt & Pepper inside cavity, and add 1 tablespoon of Herbs De Provence, sprinkle inside cavity.
  • Carefully seperate the skin from the Turkey Breast -- take 1 Tablespoon of Herbs De Provence and put under skin of the breast -- be sure to massage the herbs under the skin so they can spread evenly under the skin -- if your having a hard time moving the herbs around -- just take a tablespoon of Makers Mark and put it under the skin it should help the herbs spread.
  • Take 2 of the BOURBON SOAKED CHEESE CLOTH and stuff the inside of the Turkey -- don't pack it -- just lightly put it in place.
  • *NOTE: If you DON'T HAVE A FLAVOR INJECTOR -- SKIP THIS STEP* -- With a flavor injector, inject the following spots with a full syringe of BOURBON -- FLIP TURKEY UPSIDE DOWN (DO NOT INJECT TURKEY BREAST SIDE UP!) -- INJECT BOURBON IN BOTH LEGS -- and UNDERNEATH THE BREAST (try to get the needle where the bone of the breast is) -- and INJECT BOTH WINGS.
  • Wrap outside of Turkey with the remaining BOURBON SOAKED CHEESE CLOTH -- then WRAP the TURKEY & CHEESE CLOTH IN SARAN/PLASTIC WRAP and put in REFIDGERATOR AND MARINADE UPSIDEDOWN -- FLIPPING AND ROTATING THE TURKEY EVERY 6-8 hours -- NOTE: If you would like to inject the same spots every other time you rotate it will enhance the flavors more, but it may require an extra bottle of bourbon.
  • 24-36 HOURS MARINADE TIME.
  • COOKING PREP.
  • Remove plastic wrap & cheese cloth -- also the cheese cloth inside the cavity -- take ALL the cheese cloth and RESOAK IN BOURBON.
  • Melt 1/2 cup butter -- INJECT MELTED BUTTER IN SAME EXACT AREAS WHERE THE BOURBON WAS INJECTED -- *hint* -- TURKEY NEEDS TO BE UPSIDEDOWN.
  • Rub Olive Oil all over Turkey -- SALT & PEPPER THE ENITRE OUTSIDE TURKEY, AND THEN LIGHTLY SPRINKLE HERBS DE PROVENCE ALL OVER TURKEY AS WELL.
  • Gather Garlic Cloves, Onion, Thyme, Marjoram, Rosemary, Oranges, Parsley and Sage -- Cut the Garlic Cloves & Onion in half, leaving the skin on -- drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cut Oranges into fouths.
  • WRAP EVERYTHING (Garlic Cloves, Onion, Thyme, Marjoram, Rosemary, Oranges, Parsley and Sage) IN THE BOURBON SOAKED CHEESE CLOTH AND STUFF INTO TURKEY.
  • Add entire stick of butter to bottom of roasting pan.
  • OKAY NOW COOK THE TURKEY UPSIDEDOWN -- TRUST ME I'VE MADE THE MISTAKE OF COOKING THE TURKEY BREAST SIDE UP AND ITS ALWAYS DRY.-- TENT THE ENTIRE TURKEY IN THE OVEN WITH ALUMINUM FOIL UP UNTIL THE FINAL 2 1/2 HOURS OF COOKING -- 2 1/2 hours before its done take the tent off and FLIP the TURKEY BREAST SIDE UP (the best way to do this is having 2 people maybe more depending on the size and 2 of the same size pans and place one on top of the other and flip) -- NOTE: TO GET A CRISP GOLDEN BREAST TURN UP THE OVEN AN EXTRA 125 DEGREES FOR 25-35 MINUTES.
  • KEEP BASTING IN NATURAL JUICES EVERY 30 MINUTES -- BASTE, BASTE, BASTE -- BASTING IS KEY!
  • This will be so flavorfull and juicy, your dinner guests will BE AMAZED.

MEXICAN DRUNKEN TURKEY



Mexican Drunken Turkey image

Posted this on request for "cognac-marinated turkey". Total cooking time usually ranges from 2 to 3 hours depending on the size of the turkey. Prep time is a guess, and does not include marinating time. Serving size is also an estimation.

Provided by WaterMelon

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 2h15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small turkey
salt and pepper
10 -15 cloves garlic
6 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons cognac
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup red wine

Steps:

  • Defrost turkey.
  • Remove giblets and wash with cold water inside and out.
  • Pat dry.
  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper and coriander inside and out.
  • Tie the wings and drumsticks.
  • (Ordinary sewing thread will work just fine) Peel the garlic cloves and crush.
  • Mix the crushed garlic with the butter and the cognac.
  • Rub this paste all over the turkey and return the turkey to the refrigerator to marinate for an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Baste the turkey with the chicken broth and wine.
  • Do it gently so you don’t rub off the garlic paste.
  • Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and roast for about 90 minutes, basting frequently with wine and chicken broth.
  • If your oven isn’t very accurate turn the pan a few times during baking.
  • After about 90 minutes of cooking remove the aluminum foil cover.
  • Sprinkle with paprika all over and raise the oven temperature to 500 degrees.
  • Stop basting.
  • This will allow the turkey skin to brown and crisp.
  • Continue cooking until the skin is crisp and not watery or greasy.
  • Flip the turkey so it crisps on the other side as well.
  • If you are butchering your own turkey feed it two glasses of wine or cognac the day before.
  • It really does make a difference in the cooked flavor.
