Many injection marinades are built around a Cajun flavor. This one is mild in heat, but rich in herb flavors that are reminiscent of your favorite Italian meals. Make sure that the herbs you use are ground up, so that they will fit through your injection needle.

3/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup red wine
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Gather the ingredients.

Make sure that the Italian seasoning is finely ground. If needed, run it through a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle.

Combine all ingredients and mix well. This marinade will settle so give it a stir when reloading the needle.

Inject the marinade into the turkey, butter the inside, and/or season the outside, if desired. Discard remaining marinade. Cook turkey per recipe instructions.
