Taste and browning capability because butter has a lower ‘burn’ point than olive oil. Olive oil also imparts it’s own flavor, heavier taste in my opine. I want to taste the turkey not olives...
As with all cooking, we have our own tastes, so please go right ahead and use olive oil if you want. That’s what is so great about cooking, you can do whatever YOU darn well please!
Still trying to figure out the cooking time for two turkeys simultaneously. I was going to get one big turkey but the deal on the smaller turkeys was too good to pass up.
I'm going to put butter into the cavity and also under the skin. Would I also rub butter over the outside of the turkey to prevent it from drying out? (I used to rub oil over the outside of the turkey then cover with foil)
