Deep fried turkey started as a Cajun dish and the first step is an injection marinade. This traditional recipe gets mixed up and injected directly 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 wipe off any excess marinade before it hits the oil.
