Best 6 Drunk Turkey Bites Recipes

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!
