"Kicked-up" Turkey Injection (Plenty of Pepper!)
Whether it’s the night before (ideal!) or even just 20 minutes before frying, this turkey injection recipe will add moisture and flavor to your turkey fry. And adding Bacon Up will take it to the next level, of course!This “KICKED-UP” injection features Worcestershire, hot sauce, and plenty of pepper!
Equipment
- 1 Sauce pan
- 1 Meat injection syringe
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 3/4 cup Bacon Up Bacon Grease
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce to taste
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- Cayenne pepper to taste a dash or two, for us
Instructions
- In a sauce pan, heat butter and Bacon Up until melted. Stir in the other sauces and seasonings. Turn off heat and allow to cool until injection fluid can be safely handled.
- Using a meat injection syringe, insert about 2 tablespoons at a time directly into evenly distributed spots around the breast and white meat sections of the turkey. Be sure the turkey is completely thawed first and also be sure to get the needle all the way into the meat, not just under the skin. (Don’t worry too much about the legs and dark meat – they generally have enough fat and flavor to stand on their own.)
