A herb-packed compound butter with garlic, sage, and a whisper of smoked paprika.
4 steps, about 15 minutes start to finish.
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients until thoroughly and evenly incorporated.
Transfer the butter mixture onto plastic wrap or parchment paper.
Shape into a log or press into a small container. Wrap tightly or cover.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (longer is fine) to firm up and allow flavors to meld.
“Under the Turkey Skin: Gently separate the turkey skin from the meat and rub about half of the compound butter underneath the skin. On the Turkey Surface: Rub the rest of the butter all over the outer surface of the turkey before roasting or smoking.”
