- Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) softened Unsalted Butter
- 3 tsp (15 mL) dried Tarragon
- 3 tsp (15 mL) dried Marjoram
- 2 tsp (10 mL) dried Sage
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) Lemon or Lime zest
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) Orange zest
- 2 tsp (10 mL) Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) Salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) Ground Black Pepper
- Directions
- Combine butter, herbs, zests, mustard, salt and pepper in bowl of blender or food processor; cover. Process until well blended. Remove butter mixture from blender. Carefully work fingers under skin on breast of turkey. Place half the butter mixture under breast area. Rub remaining butter mixture over breast and legs of turkey. Place turkey, breast side up, on a flat rack in a shallow baking pan. Cover breast and top of drumsticks loosely with foil, partway through cooking, to prevent overbrowning for rest of cooking time. Roast or barbeque turkey as required, ensuring it's cooked to recommended internal temperature.
