Anyone inject turkeys? If so, what's your recipe? I'm not brining, but I am using a a Butterball turkey and they are enhanced.
 
This is what I'm injecting the big bird with this year;

Turkey injection sauce
1 cup melted butter
1 cup honey or real maple syrup
1-1/2 cup white wine
3 sprigs rosemary coarsely chopped
4 sprigs thyme coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon rubbed sage

Melt down butter and sauté herbs on low heat for a minute or so. Add honey and wine, simmer for five minutes. Let cool, strain and inject turkey at least 12 hours before cooking



I'll most likely change the quantity's as I prepare the sauce to suit my tastes.
 
Just melted butter (unsalted), salt (kosher) and white pepper (so it's not so visible).
Tastes delicious and doesn't scare the kids (WHAT IS THAT STUFF ON THE TURKEY???!!!)
