Moistens, as a turkey (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bastes

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for bastes that I've seen before include "Sews together loosely, with large stitches" , "Moistens with fat during cooking" , "Cooks in way of beasts" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the New York Times, the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
