Ingredients
For the turkey:
1 whole turkey (12-14 pounds)
1 bottle of champagne
1 stick of butter, softened
1 tablespoon of fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon of fresh sage, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
For the champagne glaze:
1 cup of champagne
1/2 cup of honey
1/4 cup of Dijon mustard
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon of fresh sage, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Clean and pat dry the turkey, making sure to remove any giblets or neck from the cavity.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, chopped thyme, rosemary, and sage. Season with salt and pepper.
Gently loosen the skin of the turkey and spread the herb butter mixture underneath, covering as much of the turkey as possible.
In a roasting pan, pour in the bottle of champagne and place the turkey on top.
Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and roast for 2-3 hours, basting with the champagne every 30 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the champagne glaze by combining all the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until it thickens.
After 2-3 hours, remove the foil from the turkey and continue roasting for another 30-45 minutes until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
During the last 15 minutes of roasting, brush the turkey with the champagne glaze every 5 minutes.
Once done, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.
Serve your flavorful and elegant holiday champagne turkey with the remaining champagne glaze on the side.
Incorporating champagne into the cooking process not only adds a touch of indulgence to the dish, but also helps to keep the turkey moist and juicy. The herb butter mixture and champagne glaze also add layers of flavor to the turkey, making it the star of your holiday dinner. So this year, impress your guests and add a little sparkle to your holiday feast with this delicious holiday champagne turkey recipe.
