  • 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature (2 sticks)
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic 

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the two sticks of softened butter with the Cajun seasoning, parsley and minced garlic in a large bowl.
  2. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to whip the butter with the ingredients until incorporated.
  3. Transfer to a food storage container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  4. Let come to room temperature before rubbing onto the turkey.

Notes

  • If you’re planning to use it later, transfer the butter to an airtight, food-safe container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It can also be frozen for up to 4 months if frozen before the “use by” date on the package.
  • Just let the Cajun butter come to room temperature before serving or anything that involves spreading. If you are cooking and need it melted, you can use it cold.
