Techniques
- turkey
- butter
Stuff butter under the turkey skin until packed to capacity.
- ⅓ cup molasses
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tbsp bourbon
- 1 tbsp black walnut bitters
- 1 tbsp browning sauce
Mix the molasses, dark soy sauce, bourbon, black walnut bitters and browning sauce into a browning paint.
Mixing a browning paint
Clean off the weeping juices and coagulated proteins and return the turkey on a rack for air circulation.
Brush the browning liquid thoroughly all over, return to the oven 10 minutes to set, then give a second coat.
Rest 30 minutes before carving so the muscle fibers relax and the juices stay in.
Note: the paint did not set, stained the fingers, made the skin soft and chewy and tasted awful; a couple tablespoons of dark soy sauce in a basting liquid is the suggested alternative for color.
