Where to find ingredients
Most ingredients can be found at your local grocery store. Specialty mustards and kitchen injectors are available at kitchen supply stores or larger supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F)
- In a blender, combine the onions, hot sauce, mustard, one cup of wine, one cup of chicken broth, the butter, and salt until a smooth cream forms
- Pour this mixture into a bowl and add the remaining wine and broth, stirring to combine everything
- Place some of the marinade inside the turkey and arrange the bird in an ungreased roasting pan
- Gently use your hands to loosen the skin from the breast, creating a space between it and the meat
- Pierce the breast meat with a fork and, using a kitchen injector, apply the extra melted butter in several strategic spots
- Spread the blended marinade all over the outside of the turkey and inject some of the liquid directly into denser parts of the meat
- Reposition the skin over the breast and tie the cavity with thick kitchen twine to ensure the seasoning doesn't escape
- Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and bake for about 3 hours
- Every 20 minutes, open the oven and baste the turkey with the liquid accumulating in the pan
- When done, remove the aluminum foil and let the turkey brown in the oven until the skin is beautifully golden and crispy
Observations
Roasting a turkey doesn't have to be complicated. The secret to tender, flavorful meat lies in a well-seasoned marinade combined with the technique of injecting butter directly into the breast. Follow these instructions to ensure a perfect bird, with golden skin and incredibly juicy meat inside.
