Extra melted unsalted butter (for injecting into the meat)
Salt to taste
3 cups chicken stock
1/2 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup melted unsalted butter (for the marinade)

Where to find ingredients

Most ingredients can be found in the produce and dairy sections of your local supermarket. Specialty items like kitchen injectors might be available in kitchenware stores or online.

Preparation method

  3. Blend until you have a smooth cream
  4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl
  5. Add the rest of the white wine and chicken stock, mixing well
  6. Place a small amount of the marinade inside the turkey cavity
  7. Position the bird on a roasting tin without greasing it
  8. Carefully loosen the skin of the turkey breast using your hands, creating a space between the skin and the meat
  9. Prick the breast meat with a fork in several places
  10. Use a culinary injector to apply the extra melted butter deep into the breast meat
  11. Spread the rest of the blended marinade over the entire outer surface of the turkey
