has any one injected the brine into a turkey before smoking ? results ? No one talks about it but I was thinking it should be a good idea.
i have injected seasonings into tri tip and roasts comes out quite juicy and tasty. im sure if you do the same with a turkey it will come out awesome , allow extra time to cook because of the liquids.
Enjoy

Yep melted butter, lemon juice, hot sauce if you like, garlic powder, and onion powder
Yeper
If you inject cut your soak time in the brine down, like in half.
Or you can take what ever fits through the needle, and if it dont I'll grind it into a powder, and mix with butter.
Say you have a rub you like and are going to rub the bird with it take some of that rub and grind it then add it to some butter and inject away.
A good starting point would be 1 Tbl ground rub to 1 stick melted unsalted butter.
Or you can by the ready made stuff.
