self-basting
Needs no brushing
Self-basting describes poultry, especially turkeys, that have been injected or treated with a solution of fats, broth, or seasonings designed to keep the meat moist during roasting without manual intervention.
The term appears primarily on packaging: a self-basting turkey.
The bird bastes itself as the added solution melts and distributes through the meat during cooking.
