Herb and Lemon Stuffed Turkey Recipe

Roast Turkey With Wild Mushroom Gravy

If you love more of the southern flavor, then you would love a juicy, FireBird! It is a family recipe I refer to as the ‘Alcoholic Turkey.’ To make this delectable poultry featurette, you will need:

  • 1 Onion (chopped)
  • 1 Green Bell  Pepper (chopped)
  • 1 12oz Can of Lager (beer)
  • 2 Whiskey Shots
  • 1 Tsp Onion Powder
  • 2 Tsp Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
  • Turkey

Preparation:

  1. Brine turkey the previous night in beer, onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Remove the neck and giblets for gravy!  Sit turkey for 12 hours in the brine.
  2.  Remove turkey from brine and  pad gently to dry. Place brine to the side. Apply the rest of the spices liberally under the turkey skin.
  3. Preheat oven to 400.
  4. Place the turkey UPSIDE DOWN onto cooking rack. Pour the leftover brine into the opening. Pour whiskey the same.
  5. Wrap cooking tray in foil. Cook until golden brown, basting bird occasionally during cooking.
