Should cooking wine be used when a turkey?

Here's why:

* Flavor: Cooking wine often has a high salt content and a strong, vinegary flavor that can overwhelm the delicate taste of turkey.

* Alcohol: While the alcohol cooks off, the flavor it leaves behind can be unpleasant.

* Better Options: There are many other ingredients that can enhance the flavor of your turkey, such as broth, citrus juice, herbs, and spices.

Instead of using cooking wine, try these alternatives:

* Chicken or turkey broth: This adds moisture and flavor without the strong taste of wine.

* Apple cider: Adds a sweet and slightly tangy flavor.

* Citrus juice: Lemon, lime, or orange juice can brighten the flavor of your turkey.

* Herbs and spices: Rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic, onion, and black pepper are classic turkey seasonings.

Remember: If you do decide to use cooking wine, choose a dry, high-quality wine and use it sparingly.

Enjoy your delicious turkey!
