Home made turkey injection

My recipe consists of one jar of Creole butter. Inject in bird, let rest over night in fridge. Cook, slice, eat.

If I inject I use Kitchen Basics brand chicken broth.

Here is my T-Bird injection for a tasty turkey. I use it every year to rave reviews.

32 oz Mango Juice or Nectar

16 oz Apple Juice

1 large Orange (quartered)

2 oz fresh Ginger (peeled and sliced)

8 oz H2O

3 tablespoons Kosher Salt

2 tablespoons EVOO


Combine all ingredients in pot and bring to a slow boil, let cool slightly and strain and then refrigerate. Inject turkey, refrigerate overnite and let set at room temp 1 hour B4 roasting or smoking.

Normally I have brined my turkeys but because of work and time issues wont be able to this year. So I have turkeys with 8% solution and want to just inject them.

Like to just make an injection for the turkeys. Anyone do this and if so mind sharing your recipe?

I just posted on the exact same question (also with an 8% enhanced bird!). I'd love to hear some more responses too.
