Coca Cola Turkey Food

COLA ROAST TURKEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Wash the turkey well, and pat dry with paper towels. Use your hands to slather the whole turkey, front and back, with butter. Make sure to butter the wing tips and leg ends. Place the turkey into a roasting pan, and pour the cola over the turkey. Sprinkle the whole turkey with salt and black pepper.
• Roast the turkey for 4 to 5 hours, checking for doneness after 4 hours. Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with the turkey drippings. If the breast skin browns too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the turkey from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

COCA-COLA BASTED TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Put the turkey breast in a roasting pan or dutch oven.
• Pour half the can of Coca-Cola over the turkey.
• Roast in 325 degree oven, basting often, add more coke if necessary.
• When the temperature of the turkey breast reaches 195 degrees on a meat thermometer, or when the turkey timer pops up, the turkey is done.
• Use the pan drippings to make wonderful gravy!
• This can also be made in a crock pot but the skin won't be as crispy.
