Overview

This broth, butter, and herb mixture enhances the flavor and moisture of smoked turkey during cooking. It ensures even browning and adds a savory, aromatic layer of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chicken or turkey broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider (optional, for a slight tang)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients:
    In a small saucepan, mix the broth, melted butter, and herbs. Add apple cider if desired for a tangy note.

  2. Heat Mixture:
    Warm over low heat to meld flavors without boiling.

  3. Strain (Optional):
    Strain the mixture if your spritz bottle might clog from the herbs.

  4. Use in Smoker:
    Spritz the turkey every 45 minutes during the smoking process. Focus on areas like the skin and exposed meat.

Tips

  • Storage: Keep warm if using a glass spritz bottle or reheat as needed.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for subtle heat.
