Cooking substitute for wine

[Anonymous]

I want to make the Martha Stewart Turkey recipe. It requires cheesecloth soaked in melted butter and wine, then placed on the roasting Turkey for most of the cook time.

I don’t drink. Can you suggest a non-alcoholic substitute for the wine? Not all alcohol cooks off.

You could sub broth.

The alcohol would cook off completely though. You're roasting it for literally hours.

They make cooking wine.

Most “cooking wine” is still alcoholic, in addition to being very salty.

We had decent luck with Fre nonalcoholic white wine. It was not Chablis Valmur, but it was way better than I expected.

Just wipe olive oil over turkey, liberally sprinkle McCormick Perfect Pinch Lemon Pepper, put it in a turkey bag (ziplock aisle), be sure you first put large spoon of flour in that bag and shook it and poked 6 holes in bag, then added turkey. Put in oval disposable foil tray in oven.

Also make sure you take bags of guts and loose neck out of turkey cavity before you cook it

So you could just soak the cheese in oil(olive oil). I guess you do it to keep the moisture in? Post the recipe.

Depends on type of wine.

Here are a few option:
- Dilute red wine vinegar if you have it with lots of water.
- diluted apple juice

So this is to address the different cooking timed of the dark vs white meat. You can use oil and chicken stock vs wine. The wine add moisture and the alcohol keeps the oil(butter) mixed.

You can also cook for the first 20 minutes at 400 with the basting every 10 minutes and reduce the temperature to 315 for the rest of the cooking time. If the breast look like they are getting too cook loosely cover with tinfoil.

Wut?

When you cook it all of the alcohol boils off because it has a much lower boiling point than water. You won't be consuming any alcohol..

I would never roast a turkey in plastic.

Ok. . . well then your turkey will be like one in Christmas Vacation movie.

The old fashioned way, not sure how this didn't catch fire, was a buttered brown grocery bag. I know grandma did it, but never watched her do it. Good luck.

This doesn't sound like it will make any difference. If you did two turkeys, one with the wine and one without, I doubt you could taste the difference.
