This Thanksgiving turkey recipe was passed down to me by my mother and grandmother. Orange wedges and aromatics add flavor while cooking inside the bird while a simmering mixture of champagne and chicken broth work their magic to keep the meat moist and tender. We would change the recipe a little every year since we never had it written down, but it always turned out incredibly juicy and succulent!
The Thanksgiving turkey has the power to make or break your holiday meal. Luckily, it’s not that hard to cook a perfectly moist and flavorful bird!
