Injecting A Turkey Is Easier Than You Might Think
If you’ve never injected a turkey, don’t be intimidated by the process. To ensure success, take your time, be patient and definitely use a quality injector. I use one similar to this. It is heavy-duty, made of metal. Not plastic. It has several injection needles, which is a definite must. Just load it up with the liquid and slowly inject into the turkey. And pull the needle back out SLOWLY. Or else you’ll have an injection explosion. Trust me on this. Walls, cabinets, you name it. You pull that needle out quickly and stuff is gonna fly. You’ll get the hang of it.
Also try my buttermilk-marinated turkey on the Big Easy. You’ll love my savory turkey too!.
It’s always a good idea to keep a few spare grease trays on hand for your Char-Broil Big Easy.
