Featured keywords: Thanksgiving turkey, turkey recipe, orange lemon champagne turkey
For this recipe, you will need a 12-14 pound turkey that is completely thawed. Make sure to remove any giblets or neck from the cavity of the turkey and rinse it thoroughly with cold water.
2. Marinade:
Featured keywords: orange, lemon, champagne
To infuse the turkey with a burst of flavor, we will be using a delicious marinade made with orange, lemon, and champagne. These ingredients will add a tangy and bright flavor to the turkey, complementing the traditional Thanksgiving side dishes.
3. Seasonings:
Featured keywords: garlic, rosemary, thyme
To enhance the flavor of the turkey, we will be using a combination of garlic, rosemary, and thyme. These herbs will add depth and earthiness to the dish, making it a truly delicious and well-rounded meal.
Instructions:
1. Preparing the marinade:
In a small bowl, mix together the juice of one orange, one lemon, and half a cup of champagne. Set aside.
2. Marinating the turkey:
Place the thawed turkey in a large roasting pan and pour the marinade over it, making sure to coat the entire bird. Cover the pan with foil and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
3. Preparing the turkey for roasting:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the turkey from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour before cooking. This will ensure that the turkey cooks evenly.
4. Adding seasonings:
Chop 4 cloves of garlic, 2 sprigs of rosemary, and 2 sprigs of thyme and place them inside the cavity of the turkey. You can also rub the herbs on the outside of the turkey for extra flavor.
5. Roasting the turkey:
Place the turkey in the oven and roast for 3-3 ½ hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the turkey occasionally with the pan juices to keep it moist and flavorful.
6. Letting the turkey rest:
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and juicy turkey.
Final Thoughts:
