Sunday Cook

We took the syringe from it to use on some meat at a friend's party. The syringe didn't get used but after the party, no one could find it. I went out and bought a bigger and better one. Now if only the needle part didn't come off when you're pulling it out of the meat.

Can't go wrong with creole and butter!!!! Thats some good stuff in a fried turkey, my personal favorite if I do say so myself!

When you inject the turkey or whatever you may inject, how much do you inject in each spot? We tried injecting a turkey we fried one time. After cooking it, and slicing the turkey. You could see where we injected the turkey. It looked like the seasoning just did not absorb into the meat. It just puddled in that one spot. Did we inject to much or not enough?

When Les injected that one, he just put in a little bit at a time and jabbed it all over in no particular pattern. We couldn't tell at all where we injected it. Could the difference be in the method of cooking? We've never fried one but seems to me it has more time to settle being smoked slow and low.

This sounds like a turkey we did several years ago. Same thing happened to us.

I have heard, however, that sometimes injections leave streaks, even in smoked items like butts. It may be something to do with the spices. Ours had some soy and other dark items, so it would really stand out against the white breast meat.
