How To Make beer in the rear turkey

• 
  1

  BRINE: Combine the water, brown sugar & 3/4 C kosher salt in a 2-gallon or larger stockpot or other nonreactive container & whisk until the sugar & salt have dissolved. Submerge the turkey breast in the brine & refrigerate it (or cold snowy outdoors - but not freezing temps) for at least 8 hours.

  Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse it & pat it dry with paper towels. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to cook. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

  In a medium bowl, combine the onions, celery, garlic, oregano bundle, 1 teaspoon of the chicken seasoning & 2 tbsp olive oil. Pour the vegetables into the outer well of the vertical roaster. Fill the inner well with beer & stick of butter & pour the remaining beer over the vegetables.

  Brush the remaining 1/4 C olive oil over the turkey breast. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tsp chicken seasoning over the outside of the turkey & season it lightly with kosher salt & pepper.

  Position the turkey breast over the inner well of the roaster so that it sits securely upright. Place the roaster on the grill, close the lid & cook, basting every 20 minutes with the accumulated pan juices, until the turkey is golden brown & an instant-read thermometer inserted into the deepest portion of the breast registers 165 degrees F., usually about 1 hour. (If the skin browns too quickly during cooking, cover the turkey with foil. If the liquid in the well of the roaster evaporates during cooking & before the turkey is done, add chicken broth as necessary.)

  Remove the roaster from the grill & set the turkey on a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes before carving. Transfer the vegetables & pan juices from the inner & outer wells of the roaster to a blender & set aside.
