Ingredients

Instructions

  • First, gather all the ingredients.
  • Next, in a medium bowl, add the softened butter, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. (I like to use a large Pyrex measuring cup, so I have a handle to hold while mixing with a hand mixer.)
  • Mix all ingredients with a hand mixer until fully combined and smooth.
  • Taste and adjust, add more seasoning for a stronger herbal flavor, or more salt for a crisper roasted skin.
  • Use immediately, transfer "Savory Poultry Seasoning Compound Butter" into a storage jar/container or roll into a log in parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

How to use the Savory Poultry Seasoning Compound Butter on the Turkey before roasting:

  • Spread the butter under the skin and on top of the skin, and inside the cavity. Placing focus on the breast and thigh areas. The Savory Poultry Seasoning Compound Butter must be very soft (not melted but warm). This ensures proper spreading of the compound butter. The turkey is very cold. When the butter comes in contact with the turkey, it will be hard to spread unless it is very warm and spreadable. Work fast, as the longer the compound butter is in contact with the turkey, it will become more difficult to spread. The cold turkey will cool/harden the compound butter.
