    place 1 cup of wine and 1 stick of melted butter in measuring cup, baste away, I like to take a baster full of wine and butter and shoot it up inside the turkey thru the stuffing. omgosh. good. bake until done. add more butter and wine as needed, leftover wine? have a glass while dinner is cooking. :) Cover with foil if getting to brown.
