List of Ingredients




1 turkey, fresh or thawed frozen
salt and freshly ground black pepper
15 cloves garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
5 shallots, halved
4 carrots, cut into chunks
3 celery stalks and leaves, chopped

Recipe



Salt and pepper the prepared turkey inside and out.

In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, bourbon, mustard, and brown sugar. Rub the bourbon mixture in between the skin and meat on the breast, legs, and thighs of the turkey. Reserve any leftover bourbon mixture.

Make 10 small slits in the turkey and stuff a garlic clove in each slit. Mix the remaining bourbon mixture, garlic cloves, shallots, carrots, and celery in a medium bowl. Place inside the turkey if not stuffing. Stuff the turkey if desired and place the vegetable mixture around the bottom of the pan. Roast as normal, basting the turkey frequently.
