The champagne in this case is for cooking, not drinking!

1 (15 pound) turkey
¼ cup margarine, softened
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
¾ teaspoon pepper
2 cups Champagne or sparkling white wine
2 onions, chopped
1 cup beef broth

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Pat turkey dry.  Combine margarine with garlic and pepper and rub all over the inside and outside of the turkey.  Place in a large roasting pan and cook, uncovered for ½ hour.  Combine the Champagne, onions and broth.  Pour over turkey.  Bake for an additional hour, basting halfway through.  Cover with foil and cook 2 more hours, basting occasionally.  Let stand about 20 minutes before carving.
