         Sorry Boys Beer Can Turkey

 

 

What You’ll Need

 

1 Turkey

1-5oz.Bottle Sorry Boys BarnYard Chicken Seasoning

1-5oz.Bottle Sorry Boys Original Seasoning

4Tbs Sorry Boys Marinade Mix (uncut)

1-Jumbo Can of your favorite Beer (I used Foster’s: now that’s a BEER!!)

Olive Oil

Step 1.  Pour out 1/2 to 3/4 beer (since that can of Foster’s costs $2.00 I’d pour it in my mouth if I was you!! But since I only drink cheap American beer I just added it to the water pan).

Add the Sorry Boys Marinade Mix to can, plus 1 Tbs. Sorry boys Original Seasoning. Beer can should only be about half full to allow the solution to boil and steam quicker.

Step 2.  Insert your hand into the turkey between the skin and the meat, from the neck hole, and skin the bird 2/3 of the way down the breast, the back and around the wings and legs. Be sure that the skin stays attached to the meat around the bottom 1/3. This is what will allow the tenting effect that you will see as old Tom cooks.

 

Step 3.  Liberally sprinkle Sorry Boys BarnYard Chicken Seasoning inside the turkey between the skin and the meat, working the seasoning down around the legs. Don’t be bashful with the amount of seasoning you use because we have plenty more where that came from! Besides, the seasoning is what makes old Tommy taste better than your average Holiday Turkey!!!

 

Step 4.  Pull the neck skin over the hole and secure together with a toothpick. Seal any other tears or cuts you may have in the skin. I found that since most of these critters have been frozen for while their skin is more prone to tearing than that of a chicken, therefore the multiple skewers you see below to repair the tear. As the bird cooks this will stick together and form a seal to trap the steam that will be emitted from the beer can, forcing the flavors through the meat.

 

Step 5. Place your bird over the beer can, through the butt end opening. Brush with Olive Oil and sprinkle with Sorry Boys Original Seasoning to ensure a tasty skin when served.

Cook in a gas grill, bullet cooker or over indirect charcoals for about 3 hours, or until internal meat temp reaches 160 degrees.  Check both thigh and breast.

Allow to rest and cool to 140 degrees and slice in any preferred method.

Note how the turkey has swollen due to the seal formed around the beer can and at the neck, which results in a small pressure cooker being formed by the boiling mixture in the beer can. Also note that the wings have been tucked back to get them away from the breast and allow both the breast meat and the wing to cook to a golden brown.

You can bet that turkey doesn’t get much better than this!

 Enjoy!
