Ingredients

For the Injection

▢1 cup chicken stock

▢3/4 cup salted butter melted

▢4 tbsp light brown sugar packed

▢4 tbsp worcestershire sauce

▢2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

▢2 tbsp onion powder

▢2 tbsp garlic powder

▢2 tbsp lemon juice

▢1 tbsp concentrated liquid crab boil

▢1 tbsp soy sauce

▢2 tsp seasoned salt

▢1 tsp cajun seasoning

▢1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

For the Turkey

▢1 turkey 10-14 lb, room temperature

▢3-5 gallons peanut oil

▢cajun seasoning- can be store bought or turkey spice

Instructions

For the Injection

Add all ingredients to a small pot over medium heat and simmer for 30 minutes until slightly reduced.

Allow injection to come to room temperature and add to a injector.

For the Turkey

Clean the turkey thoroughly inside and out.

Once the turkey is completely thawed out and room temperature, place injection needle all over turkey particularly in meaty areas like breasts and thighs and inject liquid inside of turkey. If some comes out, just rub on the outside. (2-3 injections per thigh and 3-4 per breast should be good but the more the merrier if you want more flavor). Allow marinade to sit up to 24 hours.

The longer the better!

Thoroughly sprinkle the turkey with cajun seasoning and rub in.
