Turkey Injection

Unknown

I am cooking TD turkey on the BGE and wanted thoughts on injecting ...how and with what...will it make the turkey juicy and or change the flavor? Thanks

Devlor,
Have you considered brining?

Devlor,
I inject rather than brine and mix up my own stuff.
I start with chicken brooth and/or bullion. I melt in a stick of butter, liquid crab boil, Tony C's, garlic and onion powder.

Devlor,[p]Nature Boy suggested brining, he is spot on, if you haven’t brined a turkey before then your family and guests are missing out really moist fowl. I didn’t try it for a couple of years because it sounded awful (brine, salt, soak) - it is actually much easier than injecting and produces moister results (mho of course). Every hole the injector pokes in the bird gives the moisture a way out.[p]We don’t flip our steaks with a fork for the same reason.

Shelby,[p]I'll second that injection.......that's what I use too.

pivotizer, You cook your steaks only on one side ?

HighMedLow,[p]Only when I'm forgetful, but mostly I turn em with tongs.[p]Do you poke holes in them before you eat em?[p]~
