Moisten, as a turkey (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baste

'moisten as a turkey' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for baste that I've seen before include "put on fat" , "Moisten while cooking" , "strike" , "Moisten with gravy" , "Moisten with liquid fat while roasting" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate and the Newsday.
