I've been using this recipe for years. It came from a magazine. I rub my turkey with an orange before cooking-it goes in the cavity while cooking. Makes 1/2 cup-enough for a 10-12 # turkey.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon sweet basil
1 teaspoon thyme (leaves)
1/2 teaspoon sage
Directions:
1. Blend butter with seasoning ingredients. Baste bird with about 1/2 of mixture.
2. Cook according to your favorite method, basting with herb mixture (use all) and then continue basting with pan drippings till it is done.
3. Enjoy!
