👩🍳 A Simple, Delicious Way to Roast Your Turkey
Whether you’re a seasoned cook or trying this for the first time, we’ve got you covered with our step-by-step turkey roasting guide.
We keep it simple — promise!
For us, there are two keys to a perfect roast turkey:
1️⃣ Dry Brine – keeps the meat juicy, tender, and full of natural flavor.
2️⃣ Compound Butter – a mix of herbs, butter, and olive oil that adds rich flavor and golden crispness.
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 Tbsp sea salt for every 4 lbs of turkey
2 sticks butter, softened (less if your turkey is under 12lb)
½ cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves
⅓ cup fresh sage
¼ cup fresh thyme
Sea salt & black pepper
Optional: stuffing, onion, celery, carrot, lemon, or apple
🦃This method has made many of our family, friends and customers look forward to savoring every delicious piece of turkey
