Flavored Butter

Flavored butter is so versatile. Even if you only add the zest of an orange and use it
on warm toast in the morning it takes your breakfast on a different level. The following is not a recipe but it’s just the way I usually do it to elevate the flavors of my turkey: the butter melts into the breast giving it an amazing boost in flavor and then the gravy will be to die for!

Feel free to experiment by adding or remove any of the ingredients. Don’t forget to let me know how it turned out!

Ingredients
