Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth Room temperature or warmer. Cold broth will not mix well with the butter.
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Melt a stick of unsalted butter and then combine hot sauce,  lemon juice, chicken broth, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder and whisk together.
  • Place turkey on a tray as it can get messy as some of the marinade will leak out.
  • Fill your injector and then press into the meat of the turkey injecting the marinade starting at the top of the breast and inject in a few spots working your way from the top down.
  • As you inject the marinade, you should see the turkey plump up.
  • After you have injected the turkey, proceed to season the outside of the turkey and get to cooking!
