    Servings and Ingredients

    Ingredients
    Serves 16
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    1 (16 lb) turkey, thawed
    ½ c. Hy-Vee butter, melted
    ¼ c. packed Hy-Vee brown sugar
    2 tbsp. Hy-Vee chicken grill seasoning
    1 tbsp. Hy-Vee orange juice concentrate, thawed
    ¼ c. bourbon

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Place turkey breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
    3. In a medium bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, chicken grill seasoning, orange juice concentrate and bourbon. Fill a marinade injector with 2 to 3 ounces of the bourbon mixture. Inject each breast, thigh and leg section one to three times. Brush remaining bourbon mixture over the outside of turkey.
