Black Garlic Butter Rub

 This is a great poultry rub and our go-to for turkey!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb room temperature unsalted butter
• 4 black garlic cloves chopped
• 1/2 tablespoon of garlic scape salt
• Chopped fresh rosemary

Mix all 1/2 lb of butter, all of the black garlic, scape salt, and rosemary in a bowl and rub on and underneath the turkey skin just before roasting. Soak a cheesecloth in the remaining 1/2 lb of butter and place over the turkey.  Cook and baste your turkey as you normally do but be sure to remove the cheesecloth approximately one hour before the turkey comes out of the oven. 

Try this on your roast chicken as well, just adjust the recipe as follows:

• 4 Tablespoons of unsalted butter
• 1 black garlic clove
• 1/4 teaspoon of garlic scape salt
• Chopped fresh rosemary
