Roast Turkey With Sherry Butter
1 Turkey - (10 to 12 lbs)
Salt, to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 lb Butter
(or 1/2 cup olive oil or salad oil)
1/2 cup Dry cocktail sherry
Stuffing of your choice, (optional)
Clean the bird and remove the giblets and neck for soup stock.
Remove the wing tips, or first section of the wing, and add to the
soup stock. Salt and pepper the bird inside and out, and stuff if you
wish.
After stuffing, secure the opening with string or thread, or simply
close the opening by folding the skin over it and securing the legs.
Instructions are generally included with the bird.
Tie the wings to the body, and the legs together.
Melt the butter and allow to cool for a few minutes (or use oil). Stir
in the dry sherry.
Using an injecting needle or plastic flavor injector (available in most
gourmet shops), inject the butter and sherry mixture into each of the
legs, the thighs and finally the breast. Just put a bit in two or three
places in each of the mentioned parts.
Rub the bird with a bit more butter or oil and roast in your usual
manner.
I bake the bird at 325 degrees, uncovered, about 15 minutes a pound.
If you are stuffing the bird add 1 hour for the dressing. A 9 to 12 pound
turkey will take between 3 1/2 and 4 hours.
A meat thermometer placed in the thigh should register 180 degrees.
Baste the bird with its own juices two or three times during the roasting.
This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
Comments: You can use either a frozen or a fresh turkey in this recipe,
and the injection of butter and sherry will promise you a moist and lovely
feast.
