Deep-fried turkey actually started as a Cajun dish and the first step is a delicious injection marinade. This traditional recipe is combined and then injected straight into the turkey. Make sure that you mix this marinade well before you load it into the needle. If you are deep-frying this turkey, make sure to wipe off any excess marinade before it hits the oil.

- 1/2 cup liquid crab boil
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco Sauce

-
Use while still warm enough to remain in a liquid state. Inject directly into the breast, leg, and thigh meat. Do this a few times to make sure the marinade is well dispersed throughout the turkey.
