Ingredients

For the turkey

9 pound turkey breast bone-in
olive oil

For the injection

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup water
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
½ seasoning from below

For the seasoning

2 tablespoons kosher salt
4 teaspoons garlic powder
4 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons bay leaf ground
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons rubbed sage
2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Instructions

For the seasoning

Combine all ingredients. If your injector does not have large holes you will want to grind the mixture first, using either a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. Half of the mixture will be used for the injection, while the remaining seasoning will be using as a rub for the outside of the turkey.

For the injection

Combine all ingredients with half of the seasoning mix. Whisk well to dissolve the salt.

For the turkey

Inject the injection mixture evenly into the turkey. Get it everywhere.
Lightly rub the outside of the turkey with oil. Sprinkle with the remaining seasoning.
Fire up your Big Easy. Add the turkey to the Big Easy basket and lower into the cooker.
Cook for approximately 20 minutes per pound. Let the turkey reach 165 F for white meat, 175 F for dark meat. Remove from the cooker and let rest 15-20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

This recipe is for a 9-pound bone-in turkey breast. Larger breasts or whole turkeys may require that you double the amount of seasoning and injection ingredients. The cook time will also be longer. You can usually plan on 20 minutes per pound with the Big Easy.

You will need a good injector for this recipe. One with larger holes, preferably.
