Step 1

Load the marinade into a meat injector and slowly and carefully inject it into various spots in the bird. The breast meat really benefits from this mixture—the best approach is to go for a dozen spots and add about 2 teaspoons per site, or less if you see the fluid oozing out.

Step 2

Massage around all of the injection sites to distribute the mixture throughout the bird. Cover the bird and let rest in the fridge for several hours (overnight if possible) before cooking. If you have any leftover mixture, use it as a baste while the turkey is in the oven. Otherwise, discard. If keeping the bird in the fridge overnight, keep the mix in a closed container and melt before using it as a baste.
