Roasted Turkey

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

You can find fresh turkey, aromatics, and pantry staples like wine and butter at most local grocery stores, supermarkets, and specialty butcher shops.

Preparation method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake
  2. In a blender, combine the chopped spring onions, chilli sauce, mustard, 1 cup of white wine, 1 cup of chicken stock, 1 cup of melted butter from the marinade, and salt
  3. Blitz until the mixture is smooth
  4. Transfer the mixture into a bowl
  5. Add the remaining white wine and chicken stock, stirring well to combine
  6. Pour a small amount of the marinade into the cavity of the turkey
  7. Place the bird into a roasting dish; there is no need to grease it
  8. Carefully loosen the skin over the turkey breast using your hands, creating a gap between the skin and the meat
  9. Prick the breast meat in several places with a fork
  10. Use a meat injector to inject extra melted butter deep into the breast meat
  11. Spread the rest of the blended marinade all over the outside of the turkey
  12. Inject some of the liquid into the denser parts of the meat
  13. Smooth the skin back over the breast and secure the cavity opening with bamboo skewers or kitchen twine if needed
  14. Cover the roasting dish with foil and bake for approximately 3 hours
  15. Every 20 minutes, remove the foil, open the oven, and baste the turkey generously with the pan juices
  16. For the final 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue roasting uncovered
  17. Let the turkey brown until the skin is golden and crispy
