It's Turkey Time! Let's eat and drink!

Here is a great recipe for the Thanksgiving holiday for those of us who love to cook with spirits and wine, and sometimes even use it in the food. Grilled Honey Bourbon Turkey is the name of the recipe.

Start with a 6 lbs. turkey breast -- whole

Marinade:

1 cup bourbon, any brand will do, just pick your flavor

3/4 cup dry red wine

1/2 cup dry sherry

1/3 cup soy sauce

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary - chopped

black pepper to taste

Glaze:

3/4 cup bourbon

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Place turkey in large bowl or ziplock bag.

Stir together marinade ingredients and pour over turkey. Marinate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight in a refrigerator. Remove turkey from marinate and grill, about 12 mins. per pound. Stir together glaze ingredients in large bowl. Brush glaze onto turkey about 40 mins. after you put it on the grill and again when the turkey is removed from the grill. Slice the bird up and serve on a platter. Enjoy!
