Steps:
- Directions Prepare the marinade: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the bourbon, orange juice concentrate, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and Creole seasoning, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Using a turkey-injection syringe, suck up the marinade, leaving the seasoning solids in the bottom of the pan. Fry the turkey: Find the right place to fry the turkey. Turkey frying must be done outdoors-not on wooden decks or in garages! Set up your burner on a concrete surface like a patio or driveway, a safe distance from any structure. Completely defrost the turkey with all innards removed. Most turkey frying pots will hold about 3 gallons of oil. But to be super safe, first determine the correct amount of liquid by placing the bird in the cold, empty pot and filling the pot with water until the turkey is just submerged. Then take the turkey out and mark the water level in your pot. Now that the bird has had its bath, send it back to the kitchen to be thoroughly dried inside and out. Dry the pot thoroughly, too, because moisture is the culprit in many frying eruptions. Using the turkey-injection syringe, inject the marinade into the legs, thighs and breast of the turkey. Fill the dry pot with oil to the marked line. Heat the oil, using a frying thermometer to be sure the oil is heated to 350°F. Once you begin heating the oil, never leave it unattended. When you're ready to fry, turn the fire off until the bird is in the pot. Turkey frying rigs come with a platform and stabilizing rod for lowering the bird into the oil. For total safety, use a broomstick for leverage and to keep a safe distance as you suspend the turkey rig over the pot. Ask someone to help you slowly lower the bird into the oil. Turn the fire back on and set the timer. A fried turkey cooks 3 minutes to the pound at 325°F to 350°F. So depending on the weight of the bird, it will be done in as little as 30 to 40 minutes. Turn off the fire before removing the turkey from the oil. Let it rest for 15 or 20 minutes on a newspaper covered with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. When you cut into that fried turkey, you will discover the most flavorful, moist meat you've ever eaten.

Steps:
- MARINADE PREP.
- In a bowl put Cheese Cloth (you will need about 3-5 packages -- depending on the size of your Turkey) and 3-4 cups of MAKERS MARK, let Cheese Cloth soak up Bourbon.
- Clean inside cavity of Turkey -- then Salt & Pepper inside cavity, and add 1 tablespoon of Herbs De Provence, sprinkle inside cavity.
- Carefully seperate the skin from the Turkey Breast -- take 1 Tablespoon of Herbs De Provence and put under skin of the breast -- be sure to massage the herbs under the skin so they can spread evenly under the skin -- if your having a hard time moving the herbs around -- just take a tablespoon of Makers Mark and put it under the skin it should help the herbs spread.
- Take 2 of the BOURBON SOAKED CHEESE CLOTH and stuff the inside of the Turkey -- don't pack it -- just lightly put it in place.
- *NOTE: If you DON'T HAVE A FLAVOR INJECTOR -- SKIP THIS STEP* -- With a flavor injector, inject the following spots with a full syringe of BOURBON -- FLIP TURKEY UPSIDE DOWN (DO NOT INJECT TURKEY BREAST SIDE UP!) -- INJECT BOURBON IN BOTH LEGS -- and UNDERNEATH THE BREAST (try to get the needle where the bone of the breast is) -- and INJECT BOTH WINGS.
- Wrap outside of Turkey with the remaining BOURBON SOAKED CHEESE CLOTH -- then WRAP the TURKEY & CHEESE CLOTH IN SARAN/PLASTIC WRAP and put in REFIDGERATOR AND MARINADE UPSIDEDOWN -- FLIPPING AND ROTATING THE TURKEY EVERY 6-8 hours -- NOTE: If you would like to inject the same spots every other time you rotate it will enhance the flavors more, but it may require an extra bottle of bourbon.
- 24-36 HOURS MARINADE TIME.
- COOKING PREP.
- Remove plastic wrap & cheese cloth -- also the cheese cloth inside the cavity -- take ALL the cheese cloth and RESOAK IN BOURBON.
- Melt 1/2 cup butter -- INJECT MELTED BUTTER IN SAME EXACT AREAS WHERE THE BOURBON WAS INJECTED -- *hint* -- TURKEY NEEDS TO BE UPSIDEDOWN.
- Rub Olive Oil all over Turkey -- SALT & PEPPER THE ENITRE OUTSIDE TURKEY, AND THEN LIGHTLY SPRINKLE HERBS DE PROVENCE ALL OVER TURKEY AS WELL.
- Gather Garlic Cloves, Onion, Thyme, Marjoram, Rosemary, Oranges, Parsley and Sage -- Cut the Garlic Cloves & Onion in half, leaving the skin on -- drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cut Oranges into fouths.
- WRAP EVERYTHING (Garlic Cloves, Onion, Thyme, Marjoram, Rosemary, Oranges, Parsley and Sage) IN THE BOURBON SOAKED CHEESE CLOTH AND STUFF INTO TURKEY.
- Add entire stick of butter to bottom of roasting pan.
- OKAY NOW COOK THE TURKEY UPSIDEDOWN -- TRUST ME I'VE MADE THE MISTAKE OF COOKING THE TURKEY BREAST SIDE UP AND ITS ALWAYS DRY.-- TENT THE ENTIRE TURKEY IN THE OVEN WITH ALUMINUM FOIL UP UNTIL THE FINAL 2 1/2 HOURS OF COOKING -- 2 1/2 hours before its done take the tent off and FLIP the TURKEY BREAST SIDE UP (the best way to do this is having 2 people maybe more depending on the size and 2 of the same size pans and place one on top of the other and flip) -- NOTE: TO GET A CRISP GOLDEN BREAST TURN UP THE OVEN AN EXTRA 125 DEGREES FOR 25-35 MINUTES.
- KEEP BASTING IN NATURAL JUICES EVERY 30 MINUTES -- BASTE, BASTE, BASTE -- BASTING IS KEY!
- This will be so flavorfull and juicy, your dinner guests will BE AMAZED.

Steps:
- In a small sauce pan, add the shallot and the garlic to the melted butter. Simmer on very low for about twenty minutes stirring occasionally. Add the sage, thyme, salt, pepper, orange zest, and white wine. Let simmer for fifteen more minutes to cook off the alcohol, stirring occasionally. Add the orange juice. Strain this into a bowl. Wipe out the sauce pan and return mixture to the pan. Add the honey. (When I added the honey, I just added a little, and kept stirring and tasting until the honey taste just barely started to come through.
- I stored this in the refridgerator overnight. The next morning I reheated it just until it was liquified, then injected it into the turkey. Smoke or bake as you normally would.

INJECTED BUFFALO TURKEY
I thought of this the other day. It's been on my mind for some time and I just whipped it up. Have to say it a real winner. It's not that spicy but also not something I would serve at Thanksgiving. Someone sent me a huge container of Durkee's Buffalo Chicken wing seasoning. It's good but don't breathe it as it makes me cough. It's a blend of garlic, salt, paprika, cayenne and onion powders.
