Steps:
- MAKE THE BRINE: In a large stockpot or other container large enough to hold the turkey and brine, combine the water, bourbon, salt, brown sugar, orange wedges (squeeze each wedge to release the juice), bay leaves, peppercorns, and cinnamon stick. Stir to dissolve the salt and sugar. Add the turkey to the brine, breast-side down, weighting it with resealable plastic bags filled with ice or cold water. Refrigerate the turkey and brine for 24 hours. When ready to cook, drain the turkey and discard the brine. Blot the turkey dry with paper towels and knock off any solid bits of spices. Remove any large gobbets of fat at the front of the main cavity. Put the orange wedges and herbs in the main cavity. Tie the legs together with butcher's string and fold the wings behind the back. Combine the butter and Grand Marnier, if using, and coat the outside of the turkey. Start your grill, oven or roaster - set to 350°F. Roast the turkey until it is deeply browned, the skin is crisp, and the internal temperature of the thickest part of a thigh is 165°F when read on an instant-read meat thermometer. If deep frying - heat oil to 375°F. When lowering the turkey into the oil it is recommended to turn off the burner. Once turkey is fully submersed light the burner and cook maintaining 350°F oil temperature. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per pound. Internal temperature should be 165 to 170°F in the breast, 175 to 180°F in the thigh. Remove and let grease drain. Set on paper towel to rest for 15 minutes.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE-BOURBON TURKEY BASTING SAUCE
I can't tell you how amazing our turkey was! This sauce really exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. And here's a bonus for the sauce, if you have any vodka laying around the house I think it would make one heck of a bloody Mary LOL. ON A SIDE NOTE, I'M FINALLY BACK ON JAP! PHEW I WAS HAVING SERIOUS WITHDRAWALS!!!!...

Steps:
- 1. In a small pot put the cranberry sauce.
- 2. With a potato peeler, peel the strips from one orange and put them in the pot with the cranberry sauce, then cut the oranges in ½ and juice them into the pot.
- 3. Add Turbinado sugar, chipotle, adobo, butter and the bourbon to the cranberry mixture, then mix and turn on the heat.
- 4. You don't want to turn on the heat under the pot until you add the bourbon because things could go BAM and start a fire. Just the smallest amount of alcohol could ignite.
- 5. Cook this for about 30 minutes until it all the flavors have gotten all groovy, on a real low heat, whisk often. Let this mixture cool a bit, after it has cooled strain the turkey basting sauce and throw out the peels and chipotle.
- 6. At this point you can either smoke your bird { like I'm going to do } or put it in the oven, and bake it as you usually would do.
- 7. I am brushing it on the bird every 30 to 45 minutes or so until the entire cranberry basting sauce is gone.
