I won't be doing a big Thanksgiving meal this year, we are going to the Son & Wife's. She is vegetarian so not sure what we are having!
I got this recipe years ago and have used it on turkey breasts and pork loins and like it. Here it is for anyone that would like to try it. Don
Turkey marinade injection
This is an old recipe I have had for injecting a turkey for deep frying; I think I got it from a friend at work. I have never deep fried a turkey but I used the recipe for smoking some turkey breasts & thought it was extra good.
1 bottle of liquid onion
1 bottle of liquid garlic
2 TBS hot sauce
1 TBS kosher salt
1 TBS Zatarains liquid shrimp & crab boil
1 cup water
Mix all the above, bring to a boil & cook about 10 min. Let cool & use to inject a turkey. Season turkey with your favorite Cajun seasoning. Fry turkey in 350 deg oil 4 minutes per pound.
I used this for a pork loin, only used 1 tsp of salt & ½ tsp hot sauce. Really good.
Note: recipe said enough for two turkeys. The liquid onion & garlic I think are 1 fluid oz. bottles found in the spice department. If you can’t find the liquid onion & garlic use garlic paste & onion powder.
