It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Dr. Pepper is the secret ingredient for getting a rich glaze on the turkey. Works great for turkey or chicken. You can substitute other colas in this recipe but the flavor of Dr. Pepper is unique.

ingredients
7 pounds turkey
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup onions, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
6 cups bread cubes, 1/2 inch size
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

10 ounces Dr. Pepper for basting
directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Rinse turkey in cold water, pat dry. Remove neck, wing tips, giblets and simmer in small amount of water to make broth (about 2 cups).
Melt butter or margarine and saute onions and celery until tender but not brown, cool.
Combine bread cubes, salt, pepper, thyme and parsley. Add sauteed vegetables and toss lightly. Add beaten egg, the 1/2 cup of Dr. Pepper, and broth.
Spoon about 1 cup of the stuffing into the neck cavity. Fasten skin to back with skewer.
Spoon stuffing into body cavity (do not pack); close body cavity by skewering skin together and lacing it closed with heavy string. Tie drumsticks to the tail.
Place turkey in roaster or pan breast side up and roast at 325 degrees F for about 3 hours or until done.
Baste frequently, first pouring from the bottle of Dr. Pepper, slowly over the bird. When all is poured, baste from the liquid in the pan, spooning over the bird at frequent intervals.
