Remove the pot from the heat and add the remaining 3 quarts of water and the bourbon. Refrigerate until completely chilled.

How do you marinate a turkey in bourbon?

Rinse turkey thoroughly with cold water; pat dry. Combine orange juice, water, 1/2 cup bourbon, and molasses in a 2-gallon heavy-duty ziptop plastic bag; add turkey. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 4 to 24 hours turning bag occasionally. Remove turkey from bag, reserving marinade. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Tie ends of legs with cord.

How do you make bourbon glaze on a turkey?

While the turkey roasts, make the glaze. Melt the remaining butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add the bourbon and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally until the glaze has reduced slightly, about 10 minutes. After 1 1/2 hours, brush the turkey with the bourbon glaze every 20 minutes.
