Smoked Turkey Injection Recipe

unsalted butter

salt

black pepper

honey

Melt butter in a large measuring cup (at least 2 cup capacity).

Add chicken broth, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and honey and stir to combine with the melted butter.

Prepare your turkey by ensuring it is completely thawed.  Remove giblets, rinse, and pat dry all over with paper towels.

Fit the marinade injector with a needle that has multiple, large holes.  Fill the marinade injector with the marinade liquid.

Pierce the skin of the turkey and press the injector down into the breast. Slowly depress the injector tool to empty the marinade. Repeat in several other places until you have used all of the marinade. I like to use the same hole, but insert it at different angles of the injector.

Place uncovered turkey in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours and up to 36 hours.

Proceed to prepare and cook the bird as you wish.
