Zesty Roasted Turkey
Ingredients
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup whiskey
  • 1/2 cup minced garlic
  • 1 (22 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
  • 1 (7 ounce) can chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
  • roasting bag for a large turkey
Instructions
1
"Get your oven ready by setting the temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, combine the sautéed onion, roasted red peppers, whiskey, and minced garlic in a bowl. Stuff this mixture into the turkey's body cavity.
3
To add some extra flavor, blend the chipotle peppers in a food processor until they reach a sauce-like consistency. Use half of these peppers to coat the outside of the turkey, and reserve the other half for placing inside the cavity.
4
Place the turkey into a specialized bag designed for roasting, seal it according to the manufacturer's instructions, and position it in a roasting pan.
5
Roast the turkey in the preheated oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius), as indicated by an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone. This should take around 3 and a half hours.
6
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest in a warm environment for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing."
