Drunken Turkey. Drunken Turkey is a Spanish dish that makes up the third course in a three-part meal that constitutes a traditional Alicantine turkey feast. If your pot won't accommodate the turkey, cut the breast halves in half crosswise. We've added a little extra brandy to the dish as it finishes cooking because we like the complexity it lends—for subtler.

Drunken Turkey This is a spin off of a Southern tradition, drunk chicken. The turkey stays so juicy and truly absorbs every bit of seasoning. Then sprinkle the marjoram over the bird. You can cook Drunken Turkey using 7 ingredients and 3 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
