Making the best turkey of the season just got easier.

While the turkey is roasting, in a small saucepan combine the brown sugar, bourbon and butter. Heat until melted.

After 30 minutes at 450º, reduce the temperature to 325º. Brush turkey with glaze. This should be repeated every 15 minutes until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165º at which time the turkey should be removed from the oven and set to rest for 30 minute before carving and serving.
