Steps:
- Prepare Turkey:
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- Melt the butter.
- Use a hypodermic needle or baster-injector to inject the butter into the turkey. Or stuff solid butter under turkey skin.
- Place thyme in turkey cavity, lightly salt and pepper the bird inside and out.
- When temperature reaches 500°F, put turkey in the oven. Let cook for 20 minutes or until the exterior is crisp, but not golden brown. Reduce heat to 375°F. Let bird roast until finished. You should have a crispy, golden brown turkey with very, very tender, buttery meat.
- Prepare Dressing:
- Render bacon. Reserve fat.
- Add garlic and onion to bacon fat and saute. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Sauté onions until translucent.
- Add stock. Reduce slightly. Add bread cubes. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Add grated carrot. Gently mix.
- Crush bacon and add to mixture.
- Add walnuts to mixture. Let mixture cool.
- Mix in the eggs until they are well incorporated.
- Place in heatproof pan (or turkey cavity) and cook at 375°F until crisp on top.
- Garnish with dried raisins or cranberries.

Steps:
- Combine the mayonnaise, milk, parsley, dill, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, garlic salt and pepper in a blender and process until smooth, about 2 minutes. Measure out 3/4 cup of the ranch dressing and set the remainder aside for serving at the table.
- Fill a turkey injector with the 3/4 cup ranch dressing and inject 2 tablespoons of the dressing into each thigh of the turkey, 1 tablespoon into each drumstick and 3 tablespoons into each breast. Let the turkey stand at room temperature for 30 minute to let the dressing soak into the meat. Discard any of the unused ranch dressing in the injector (it has been in contact with the raw turkey).
- Mix together the olive oil and melted butter in a small bowl. Brush the turkey with the oil mixture and then sprinkle with salt.
- Preheat an oil-less fryer for cooking (alternatively, follow oven-roasting directions below). Place the turkey breast-side up in the fryer with the legs in the deepest part. Cook the turkey until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reaches 160 degrees F, about 2 hours. (The breast cooks slower than the legs in the oil-less fryer; carryover cooking will cook it the rest of the way through.) Remove the basket insert with the turkey and let the bird rest at least 30 minutes over a roasting pan. Remove the turkey from the basket, carefully dislodging any parts of the turkey that are touching the basket so the skin does not tear. Carve the turkey and serve with the reserved ranch dressing or gravy.
- Alternatively, roast the turkey in the oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Inject the turkey with the dressing as directed above and set it in a roasting pan. Roast, basting every 30 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh reaches 160 degrees F, about 3 hours (the carryover cooking will cook it the rest of the way through). Transfer to a carving board and let rest 30 minutes before carving.

Steps:
- Make the marinade by combining the Worcestershire sauce, crab boil, apple cider, honey, beer, salt, allspice, Creole seasoning, cayenne, olive oil, and minced garlic in a blender and process until very smooth, about 5 minutes. Fill a large syringe* and inject turkey in the breast and thigh area, as well as the back, wings, and legs, with at least 2/3 of the marinade. You will have to fill the syringe numerous times.
- Preheat the oven to 420 degrees F and line a large roasting pan with aluminum foil.
- Season the injected turkey well both inside and out with the kosher salt and black pepper. Place the turkey in a large roasting pan lined with aluminum foil and pour the remaining marinade all over the turkey. Bake the turkey uncovered for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, add 1 cup of the chicken broth to the roasting pan, and continue to bake the turkey until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the deepest part between the thigh and the leg registers 165 degrees F. (If the turkey begins to brown too much, tent loosely with aluminum foil until it is done. Also, add more broth as necessary to keep the bottom of the roasting pan from burning.)
- When the turkey is done, remove it from the oven and set aside to rest at least 20 minutes before carving.
CAJUN TURKEY INJECTION (BRINE)
Steps:
- Blend all of the dry ingredients then mix with the butter.
- Inject into the turkey prior to deep frying (the injector must have a discharge nozzle of at least 1/16th of an inch). This recipe is enough for 1 (10 to 12 pound) turkey.
TURKEY INJECTION SAUCE WITH HONEY, HERBS AND SPICE

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients in a pot and simmer for five minutes.
- Cool.
- Strain cooled sauce.
- Using an injecttion needle inject liquid into the turkey throughout all the breast and thighs.
- Making one hole inject 1/3 of the liquid and move needle 1/3 of a turn to inject a 1/3 turn again and inject remaining.
- (This is so you are not putting holes all over the turkey).
- 2 injections per thigh and 3 per breast should be good.
- This can be marinaded 1-24 hours before you cook the turkey. Any that oozes out rub gentle over the turkey.
- Proceed to grill, fry or roast your turkey.

CAJUN BUTTER SPATCHCOCK TURKEY
I love to spatchcock turkey (or chicken). You get the same roasty flavor you would if you baked the turkey whole, but with the added benefit of it taking much less time to cook. When making the marinade, be sure to puree it as finely as possible so the vegetables don't get stuck in the injecting tool.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Combine the butter, wine, celery, bell pepper, onion, Cajun seasoning, brown sugar, hot sauce and salt in a food processor or blender. Process until very smooth. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
- Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey and save for stock or discard. Place the turkey breast-side down on a cutting board. Cut along one side of the backbone from the tail to the neck with a chef's knife or kitchen shears. Repeat with the other side and remove the backbone. (Save for stock!)
- Turn the turkey over, and press down on the breastbone with the heel of your hand until it cracks. Tuck the wing tips up and over the back of the turkey. (This prevents them from burning.) Place the turkey on a wire rack in a roasting pan.
- Fill a flavor injector with the butter mixture and inject as much of the butter into the turkey at different angles. Pour any remaining butter over the top of the turkey, then sprinkle with additional Cajun seasoning, if desired. Place the roasting pan on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, undisturbed.
- Baste the turkey with the pan juices and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Continue to bake, basting occasionally, until a meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees F when inserted in the thickest portion of the breast and thigh (avoiding bone), 45 minutes to 1 hour. (Add the chicken stock to the roasting pan if it starts to dry out.) Let rest before slicing. Serve with the pan drippings.
APPLE AND TEA BRINE, INJECTED, RUBBED AND DEEP FRIED TURKEY
I know sounds a little kinky! What more can a turkey want? I brined, injected, rubbed, and deep fried this turkey for the Fourth of July. This recipe is here for you to play with. You can choice one or all of these methods for making your turkey. This is a quick way to cook a turkey. I had a 14 pound turkey cooked in 35 minutes. All in the time is in the prep. Make sure to remove plastic leg holder and pop up timer. Giblets and neck can be used for an other use(Stock).I gave this 15 hours of passive work time. Brining is good at 10 hours. Take note the turkey looks burnt but its not its all the dry rub and being deep fried. Everyone picks at the crispy skin as it's being craved. It's a no wonder that no fingers get? It's wonderful. Yes you can just brine, dry rub, inject AND OR deep fry this recipe. You'll find any of all options or one way wonderful.

Steps:
- 1. First of all; when you inject any kind of meat or fish when it's raw, and let it marinade for a while, the flavours of your injection will become a part of it. Just think about injecting a leg of lamb with a marinade made garlic or mint and then smoke it slowly in the oven by adding dried garlic and dried mint infused olive oil on the fire or hot coals.
- 2. Even the most boring tasting fish can be injected with lemon and basil for example for a unique taste. The possibilities are endless, I can't name them all here but I do believe that it's definitely an underdog cooking technique then never got the credit it deserves!
- 3. There also are a few different approaches to smoking, but the most important thing to understand is that you have to trap the smoke around your product in order to really add the smokey taste! This can be done by wood or other dried products or with coals and sprinkling over infused oil, or fresh products to create flavorful smoke!
- 4. For starting, buy your turkey at least 1 day before serving it, so you can inject it with your secret infusion! Everyone should make up his own infusion, it's so simple!
- 5. Chop half a lemon (don't peel it), and put them in some white or red wine with 2 thyme sprigs, a few sage leaves and some crushed pepper but no salt! Let it infuse on a low heat for about 30 minutes, sieve, add the sugar and boil it down to about 3/4 cup.
- 6. Inject this infusion as evenly as possible in your turkey, then fill it it (it's still the day before serving!) with al the other ingredients, except the butter, salt and lemon. You can chop them up roughly for a better result.Then leave the turkey covered in the refrigerator for the night.
- 7. Then about 3 to 4 hours before serving (depends on the size of the turkey), heat up the orange in a microwave or oven and take some kitchen rope. Then tie the orange between the legs of the turkey. Rub the butter over the chicken and roast uncovered in the oven for 2 to 3 hours on 90 C° (about 200 F)
- 8. Take the turkey out of the oven, and heat it up to a high heat. Then just 20 minutes before you put it on the table, rub it again in butter, but this time with pepper, salt an other spices you want. Then give it quickly a nice color to serve.
PERFECTLY PAIRED TURKEY INJECTION MARINADE AND RUB
This delicious marinade paired with the rub gives your turkey just the right amount of flavor while helping to make it melt-in-your-mouth tender and juicy. Great for deep frying or just plain old roasting.

TURKEY BRINE AND INJECTION MARINADE
I have been playing with this recipe for awhile, and I know it's is too late for the holidays this year, but there's always next year, and it's good for fried or smoked or barbecued turkey at any time of year. It's also good for chicken or a pork loin... just divide in half, or make a full batch and refrigerate half for next time. Prep time does not include 24+ hours brining time or cooking time.

Steps:
- You will also need 1 Ice chest just large enough to hold the bird, brine, and ice (not too big, bird must be submerged) and 1 Brine injector (preferred), or a large (50+cc) hydodermic with large diameter needle.
- Stir salt and sugar into boiling water until completely dissolved.
- Add remaining ingredients, except olive oil, and allow to set for at least 30 minutes for flavors to develop.
- Taste; brine will be very salty; thats why it is called brine.
- Adjust any or all ingredients to your taste, keeping in mind that tastes should be quite assertive.
- Thoroughly blend everything in a food processor or blender.
- Whisk or blend in olive oil, and strain about half into a cup or bowl for injecting, returning all strained solids to the half to be used for brining.
- Thaw your turkey completely, if frozen.
- Better yet, get a fresh turkey that hasnt been injected with all of the artificial quote butter unquote stuff, so the only thing in the bird is what YOU put inside the bird!
- Remove and reserve the neck and innards for gravy making, or discard them if you are not a gravy freak.
- Wash the bird thoroughly inside and out, drain well, and pat dry with paper towels.
- Use a 2 ounce (about) brining injector or a BIG (50+ cc) hypodeemic nerdle to inject the bird with the strained brine.
- Inject in at least 3-4 sites on each side of the breast, 2-3 in each thigh, and 2-3 into the meaty part of each drumsticks, pushing the needle in deep and injecting about 1/3 of the brine deep, pulling the needle back about a third, injecting another third of the brine, and repeating after pulling the needle back another third of its length.
- Pour any remaining injection-brine with the half to be used for brining.
- Place 1 bag of ice in the bottom of the ice chest, place the turkey on top, and pour all of the brine over the turkey.
- Dump the remaining bag of ice over the turkey, and add enough very cold water to just cover the bird.
- Slosh things around enough to combine the brine with the additional water, ice, and the turkey, and make sure the brine gets into the turkey cavity.
- Close the ice chest, and set in a cool place to marinate.
- After about 7-8 hours, turn the turkey over, top to bottom, and do it again after another 7-8 hours.
- Add more ice only if everything melts; dont bother otherwise.
- After a total of at least 24 hours, you are ready to cook your bird any way you desire, stuffed or not stuffed, roasted, fried, nuked, whatever.
- Just be sure to drain the turkey well and pat it dry before cooking by your desired method.
- Throw away all of the brine, remaining ice, etc.
- ,and thoroughly wash your ice chest before using it for more legitimate purposes, such as storing beer and wine to go with your wonnerful turkey dinner.
- Notes: This marinade/brine can also be used for chicken or pork-- just half the recipe, and follow the general instructions using smaller amounts-- or make a full recipe of the brine/marinade and save half in the fridge for next time.
- If you are lucky enough to actually have a fridge large enough and empty enough to hold a turkey for a day or so, forget the ice chest and most of the ice, and brine your bird in a plastic bag large enough to hold the bird and brine, squeezing out all of the air, and just turn it over every 7-8 hours so things marinate evenly.

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.
