The goal was to give me more time to spend with my family on Thanksgiving, rather than stuck in the kitchen with a hot oven. The star of the dinner table is typically, the turkey. If you’re still basting that turkey ten times throughout the day, wondering why it takes six hours to cook, instead of the four hours it’s supposed to, listen up. Here’s the secret. Melt a full cube of butter in a measuring cup and add whatever seasonings you enjoy. With your fingers, carefully separate the breast and thigh skin from the meat. Be careful not to split the skin. Enlist someone to help hoist the bird up, while you pour the melted butter in between skin and meat.
