Basting Sauce for Roast Turkey
Basting Sauce for Roast Turkey is a simple, delicious, buttery and herbaceous sauce. It is perfect on your holiday bird!!
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups chicken or turkey broth (if low sodium broth, may need to adjust salt in sauce)
- 1 cup butter
- 1-1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 cup chopped, fresh parsley (in a pinch, used dried)
- 3 tbsp dried chives (I also use fresh if I don't have dried)
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp dried marjoram
Instructions
- In a saucepan, add broth, butter and heat until butter melted, then bring to a boil.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients, stirring to make sure they are well incorporated and then remove the sauce from the heat.
- Set the basting sauce aside until you are ready to baste your turkey. No need to reheat when you are basting, it is ready to go.
Notes
*I typically baste my turkey every 30 minutes*
*If you have any remaining basting sauce, it is wonderful added to your gravy!*
