Winter Ambrosia and Generations Cider Glazed Turkey

Welcome to the ohm moment, this turkey recipe is incredible. The turkey is very flavorful and moist. I brined the turkey for about 40 hours, truth be told the turkey I bought was incredibly stubborn and would not thaw out! However, I am very proud to announce that after about 40 hours it was ready to roast and I could not have asked for a better turkey recipe. Happy Thanksgiving and hold onto this recipe, it is a keeper!

Turkey Brine:

1/2 cup salt
2 Tablespoons whole allspice
1 cup Winter Ambrosia
1 cup apple cider
water



Add about a cup of hot water to the salt and whole allspice, stir and wait until salt dissolves. Add salt mixture to a big pot, large enough to hold the turkey. ( I used my canning pot) Add Winter Ambrosia and apple cider. Place turkey in pot and add water, enough to cover turkey. Place in refrigerator for about 24 hours. Our turkey took a bit longer but the results were terrific!

Now for the best recipe ever, well okay what I have found to be the best recipe happens to use Quail and Olive's wonderful olive oils and vinegars, you just can't go wrong!


Winter Ambrosia and Generations Cider Glazed Turkey



Ingredients:

Turkey bag ( This was the first year I used one, I was a little hesitant however the results were amazing!)
4 Apples, cored and quartered
1 Sweet Onion, peeled and quartered
Fresh Sage, 3 sprigs
Fresh Rosemary, 3 sprigs
salt and pepper
1 cup Winter Ambrosia
1 cup Apple Cider
1 Lemon, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves
3/4 cup Generations



Directions:

Preheat oven to 350*

Remove Turkey from Brine and rinse. Separate turkey skin from breast. Place lemon slices, Rosemary, Sage, and garlic under skin around the turkey. Combine Generations EVOO and salt and pepper to your liking. Rub turkey with Generations mixture inside and out. Fill Turkey cavity with apple and onions. Take turkey bag and sprinkle flour inside ( honestly this was the directions on the back of the box, however I forgot to do this step and the bag was fine during the cooking process. ) shake bag to distribute flour. Place bag in roaster and add Winter Ambrosia and Apple Cider to bag. Place turkey into bag. Close bag with tie and make 4-5 slits on top. Place in oven and bake until thermometer measures 180*. During last hour of cooking, open bag so that the turkey breast browns making sure you glaze the breast every 20 minutes with turkey juices.  Once turkey reaches 180*, take out and let sit for about 20 minutes before cutting into. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
