I think if you soaked a turkey in beer, it'd be a waste unless you left it there for a few days to really absorb the flavor.... If you're going to soak it in something, soak it in some nice cheap whiskey...you might actually taste a difference.

That's the way I would do it...but then again I'm no cook.

ive marinated our turkey in beer for many years. just brushing the beer on slowly.

now we use other stuff (forgot what it was) , but some years we still use beer. it tastes good! trust me.

i would say marinade using a bunch of herbs and lemons and onions and shallots

Heh...

I think a liquid has to be like 80 proof or somewhere around in there before it will burn. So no, beer won't burn.

You could baste your turkey in Everclear for a week, but you aren't going to get drunk after you cook it and eat it...... lol

Alcohol = teh low boiling point.
