turkey baster

Roasting juice tool

A turkey baster is a kitchen tool for sucking up pan juices and squirting them over roasting meat to keep it moist.

It consists of a rubber bulb attached to a tube—squeeze the bulb, insert the tube into liquid, release to draw fluid up, squeeze again to dispense.

Beyond the kitchen, turkey basters have become associated with informal artificial insemination: She got pregnant using a turkey baster.
