Slow roasted Cannabis Butter Injected Thanksgiving Turkey

A proper cannabis Thanksgiving meal needs a weed infused turkey. This delicious slow roasted cannabis turkey recipe will be the star of the evening. You will need to organize ahead of time as this bad boy takes 8 to 9 hours to cook. Prior to roasting, we injected the turkey with cannabis butter and also used cannabis butter for the stuffing. To limit waste of cannabis butter, we used the fat drippings from the turkey to make a delicious cannabis infused gravy.

Cannabis butter for Thanksgiving

To make any recipe a cannabis infused recipe, you will need to extract the important cannabis compounds in either a fat or alcohol. In this recipe we will give you step by step instructions on how to make cannabis butter to make this Thankgiving meal a truly unforgettable one.

This process is followed by infusing your decarbed herb with clarified butter. To do this, you will need to combine the ingredients and heat them together for another 2 hours. (See steps below)

Once the cannabis butter is done, you can store it in the fridge and use it in the recipes that require cannabis butter.
