  • Reserve a few tablespoons of infused butter for your homemade gravy.
  • Rest turkey for a minimum of 30 minutes at room temperature before cooking.
  • Rub the infused butter all over the turkey and refrigerate for at least one hour before cooking.
  • Rinse wet brine from turkey and pat dry before buttering and cooking.
  • Unsalted butter works well.
