Transform your turkey with a caramelized hue and subtle sweetness by basting it with 2 cups of cola during roasting.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (16 pound) whole turkey - thawed, neck and giblets removed
  • 0.5 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups cola-flavored carbonated beverage (such as Coke®)
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) for the perfect bake.
  • Thoroughly wash and dry the turkey. Gently massage butter all over the turkey, including the wings and legs. Transfer the turkey to a roasting pan and pour cola over it. Season the turkey generously with salt and black pepper.
  • Roast the turkey for 4 to 5 hours, basting it every 30 minutes with the drippings. If the breast skin browns too quickly, cover it with foil. Check for doneness after 4 hours using a thermometer; the thigh should reach 180°F (82°C). Once done, remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
