Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients in local supermarkets, butcher shops, or specialty grocery stores. For the turkey, local butchers provide fresh options, while large retail stores carry frozen varieties. If a specific ingredient is unavailable, common quality butter is a fine substitute for the melted butter components, and standard dry white wines are excellent for the marinade base.
Preparation method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C
- In a blender, combine the chopped onions, hot sauce, mustard, 1 cup of white wine, 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 cup of melted butter from the marinade, and salt
- Blend until you obtain a smooth cream
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl
- Add the remaining white wine and chicken broth, incorporating well
- Place a small amount of the marinade inside the turkey cavity
- Position the bird in a roasting pan without greasing it
- Carefully loosen the skin of the turkey breast using your hands, creating a space between the skin and the meat
- Pierce the breast meat with a fork in several points
- Use a culinary injector to apply the extra melted butter deep into the breast meat
- Spread the remaining blended marinade over the entire external surface of the turkey
- Inject a little of this liquid into the denser parts of the meat
- Return the skin to cover the breast and secure the rear cavity with toothpicks or kitchen twine if necessary
- Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven for approximately 3 hours
- Every 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil, open the oven, and baste the turkey generously with the juices that have collected in the pan
- In the last 30 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and roast uncovered
- Let the turkey brown until the skin becomes crispy and golden
