Injectables?

[Airboss]

Hail Centralites! Deep fried our first turkey yesterday. I am please to report a flawless performance with zero mistakes. However, we did not inject the bird as recommended because we just didn't have a recipe for a good injection marinade. What y'all shootin' your birds up with?

Thanks Jim. What a I looking for? The stuff that's in the same isle as the "Dales's" marinade etc? And do you have a favorite for turkey frying?

Creole Butter.

Italian dressing that has been in a blender for about 5 minutes. Family favorite for at least 5 years.

Also the wife likes the following recipe from Emeril, I thought it was toooo far from traditional turkey, but that is just my opinion:


2 tablespoon Lea & Perrins worcestershire
1 tablespoon crab boil
1/4 cup apple cider
3/4 cup honey
1 bottled beer
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon allspice
1/2 cup essence or Creole spice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
pinch of clove

I find the Dale's stuff to be too salty.

I too use the bottle injection stuff (usually comes with a syringe). My favorite is the Creole Butter. Tony Cachere & Chef Williams Cajun Injector & are the big boys in this market.

I'd advise against using butter and make sure you filter your injection. The cold bird has a way of solidifying the butter and clogging your syringe. You can also clog your syringe if you don't filter the stuff.

If a person likes Dale's but finds it too salty try some Moore's. It basically the same stuff with less salt. Both fairly top heavy on the Soy Sauce.

I've used the creole butter and a couple of others from Bass Pro Shops and haven't had any complaints with it. Congrats on your first fried bird, enjoy.
