Ingredients

1 cleaned turkey (approx. 4 kg)
2 large onions, chopped
1/2 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 bottle dry white wine
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup melted butter (for seasoning)
Salt to taste
Extra melted butter (for injecting into the meat)

Where to find ingredients

Turkey, fresh onions, wine, and chicken broth can be found at any local grocery store or supermarket. Kitchen twine and culinary injectors are available at specialty kitchen supply shops or the housewares section of large department stores.

Preparation method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
  2. Place the onions, hot pepper sauce, mustard, one cup of wine, one cup of chicken broth, the cup of melted butter, and salt into a blender
  3. Process until the mixture forms a smooth cream
  4. Pour this mixture into a bowl and stir in the remaining wine and chicken broth
  5. Pour a little of the marinade into the cavity of the turkey
  6. Place the bird in a roasting pan without greasing it
  7. Use your hands to gently loosen the skin over the breast, creating a space between the skin and the meat
  8. Pierce the breast meat with a fork
  9. Use a culinary injector to apply the extra melted butter into various strategic points of the breast
  10. Spread the blended marinade all over the outside of the turkey
  11. Inject a little of the liquid directly into the denser parts of the meat
  12. Reposition the skin over the breast
  13. Secure the cavity with thick kitchen twine to ensure the seasoning stays inside
  14. Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven for about 3 hours
  15. Every 20 minutes, open the oven and baste the turkey with the juices that accumulate in the pan
  16. Once finished, remove the aluminum foil
  17. Let the turkey brown in the oven until the skin is beautifully colored and crispy
