Turkey Injector Marinade

The best part about deep frying a turkey is the incredible flavor variety that you get when you use a turkey injector marinade.  This is accomplished by using a big needle and actually injecting extra flavor into the turkey.  Injector marinades made the turkey much more juicy and moist and make the turkey dinner that you’re preparing a lot more interesting.

First thing you’ll need is a turkey injector. The two most popular injectors on the market can be found here and here. Both will jazz up your turkey with no problems so its up to you if you want to spring for a fancier stainless steel injector or a regular one. And don’t worry this isn’t something that you’ll only use on Thanksgiving.  It also works great on other meats.  Now go ahead and try a few of these turkey injector marinade recipes.
