Ingredients
• (1) 12–14 lb turkey, giblets and neck removed, rinsed, patted dry, and at room temperature

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 500°F.
Place the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Gently separate the skin from the meat and work 3 tablespoons butter underneath the skin over the breast and legs. Rub 1 tablespoon butter over the outside. Season generously with salt and pepper. Tuck wings and tie legs with kitchen twine.
Stuff the cavity with aromatics if desired.
2. Roast for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and continue roasting for another 30 minutes.
Pour 1½ cups water into the pan. Tent the turkey with foil (butter side down) and baste every 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Spicy Butter Baste:
Melt the remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a small pan and whisk in Wild Green Jalapeño Red Hot Sauce.
Liberally baste the turkey with the sauce, roast for 30 minutes, baste again, and roast for another 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thigh.
4. Rest and Serve:
Transfer the turkey to a carving board, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 30 minutes before carving.
Serve with extra Wild Green Jalapeño Red Sauce for that extra fiery finish.
