Cooking with Astra (from Shifting Tides) did a How to cook a Turkey video for her Park back in November. To compliment that, she has included her recipe for the butter she uses underneath the skin below:
Astra’s Turkey Butter Recipe (19 lb bird)
4 sticks of unsalted butter softened not melted
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice (equivalent to 1 fresh lemon)
4 sprigs of fresh thyme
Peel thyme from the stem into butter. Mix all ingredients together until homogeneous. Now your butter is ready to be piped under the skin of your turkey.
I make a garlic butter version using lots of fresh garlic minced and Italian seasoning that sits overnight while my turkey finishes brining. We all have our own favs so share your version below or if you try Astra’s tell us how much you loved it below! Enjoy the video and the recipes, more to come!
