Turkey Butter Rub

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Healthy Recipes, Main Dish, Meat

 Ingredients List

  • 1 pound softened butter (or less if using a smaller bird)
  • 1 Tbsp sage
  • 1 Tbsp marjoram
  • 1 Tbsp ground thyme
  • 1 Tbsp oregano
  • 1 packet Lipton Savory Herb with Garlic mix

 Directions

4. Gently put some of the butter rub under the skin on the breast of the turkey. Spread the remaining butter rub all over the outside and inside of the bird.

5. Add 1 inch of water to the bottom of the pan, put the lid on the pan (with all vents closed), and put it in the oven at 350 degrees.

6. Let the turkey bake for 1 hour and then baste it (squirting liquid from the bottom of the pan all over the turkey). Continue to baste the turkey every 30 minutes until it is done. You”™ll know the turkey is done when the legs start to break away from the bird. For an average size bird (about 15 pounds) this will take 4-5 hours.
7. Let the turkey sit until it is cool enough to handle. Then take the meat off the bones.

8. Put all the meat in a pan and cover the meat with drippings and liquid from the roasting pan, thin gravy, or just plain water if needed. Refrigerate until the next day.

9. On eating day, pull out the pan and bake it covered until the turkey is hot. It will be amazingly moist turkey!
