Title: Savor your Turkey!
Post by: teesquare on November 22, 2014, 06:09:40 PM
Many of you may know this...but Way Out West - or Steak Savor ( Now re-labeled as Savor -All ) is fantastic on poultry.

You can:

Add it to your brine - mixes in great with a basic salt/sugar brine. For extra special flavor - throw in a couple of "bruised fresh rosemary stems, a few cracked juniper berries, and some mild white wine.

Make a compound butter by allowing 1 or 2 sticks of butter to come to room temp, and mix it in.... The refrigerate the butter - cube it up into small pieces - and place them at random under the skin of your bird, and in the cavity.

Add to olive oil, and add a little salt ( there is almost no salt in WOW or Savor-All) and rub it into the skin, and under the skin.

Add some to your favorite stuffing/dressing recipe.....

Thinking of some roasted root veggies? Toss them with a little olive oil/butter blend - then sprinkle on a little WOW or Savor-All and cook.

Remember that compound butter trick? Try some of it in baked, or mashed potatoes! Even on a sweet potato for a touch of savory flavor.

Any ideas you have? Fire away!

And...HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Thanks for the tips Tim! I already had planned on using WOW on our turkey this year. It is one
tasty rub. We love it on chicken here.

Savor is great on chicken!

Sounds like it would be good for Turkey.

How about making the Savor into an injection?

Should be easy. I make my own Cajun injection by mixing Tony C's Cajun seasoning into melted butter and  other seasonings and injecting it in poultry.

WOW is also great on grilled salmon and fried taters. Wendy even adds it to her cilantro.green onion ranch dressing.....outrageous.........

Sure! - and....you can do a couple of different things to make it easier/prettier:
1.Heat up some chicken or turkey broth, an add WOW or Savor - All to it, stir it in well. Allow it to steep for as long as you can ( overnite in the fridge is great ) then strain it they a fine wire strainer. Now you have an infusion of the flavors you want - and none of the solids that may clog an injector.

2. Grind the WOW/Savor - All in a clean coffee grinder ( HINT: you can clean out a grinder by first grinding some rice in it to rid the grinder of coffee ) until it is a fine powder. Now it will suspend better in a liquid of your choice (  I prefer to use low salt broth ) tho it will need some stirring/agitation.

Remember to chill your injection mix to under 40F before using it. Food safety first! ;D

I made a compound butter with WOW that everyone loved.  I have an extra turkey I bought during the Thanksgiving turkey sales, I will have to try the WOW injected in the bird next.
