Basting Liquid Recipes

HOLY SMOKE BASTING SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a large pot.
• Bring to a hard boil for 10 minutes.
• Use for basting meat while smoking or grilling. If you don't need this much basting sauce, you can cut the recipe down by half or even to one quarter.

SMOKEY RIBS BARBECUE BASTING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine all ingredients.
• Baste on ribs once every half hour while smoking.

BASTING LIQUID

Steps:

• In a medium sauce pan, combine gizzard, neck, heart, bay leaf, paprika, coriander, garlic, salt, and pepper with 4 cups water. Bring to a simmer, and continue to simmer until the turkey pieces are cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Add apple cider, stir, and remove from heat.

VEGAN TURKEY

Steps:

• Add 1 1/2 cups chickpeas, 1 cup broth, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, 2 tbsp melted coconut oil, 2 tsp poultry seasoning, 2 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp onion powder to a food processor or blender.
• Blend for about 30 seconds until you have a thick liquid. (It's okay if there are still a few chunks of the beans in it.)
• Pour the liquid into a glass bowl (gluten will stick to plastic) and sprinkle 3/4 cup of gluten flour over it and fold it in with a silicone spatula.
• Sprinkle the remaining gluten flour over it and continue to fold it in. Once it gets firm, use your hands to knead the dough for about 30 seconds until all of the gluten is incorporated.
• Form the dough into one large loaf and wrap it tightly and completely in foil.
• Place the wrapped "turkey" in a large steamer basket, cover, and steam for 1 hour. (You can now eat the "turkey" or you can baste and bake it for more flavor.)
