Injecting the turkey the night before?

Is this a idea or are there problems injecting the night before?  Was thinking of using a mixture of butter and spices for the mix.

 

Thanks.

    Don't inject. You take a risk of making the meat mushy in the spots you injected. Just search turkeys on here and follow the instructions. And def. try mickeys coffee rub. I've got a turkey on at this moment using his rub and method of cooking.

    I'm a fan of injecting and have never had any problems other than there being very little leftovers....

    I use an off the shelf creole butter w extra dded hot sauce

    I inject, but haven't the night before. I did a beer and butter injection a couple weeks ago, but only an hour before it went on the egg. It was very good. I was actually thinking about doing it the night before this year, don't really know what difference it would make.
