Steps:
- In a small sauce pan, add the shallot and the garlic to the melted butter. Simmer on very low for about twenty minutes stirring occasionally. Add the sage, thyme, salt, pepper, orange zest, and white wine. Let simmer for fifteen more minutes to cook off the alcohol, stirring occasionally. Add the orange juice. Strain this into a bowl. Wipe out the sauce pan and return mixture to the pan. Add the honey. (When I added the honey, I just added a little, and kept stirring and tasting until the honey taste just barely started to come through.
- I stored this in the refridgerator overnight. The next morning I reheated it just until it was liquified, then injected it into the turkey. Smoke or bake as you normally would.

Tips:
- Use a flavorful butter: Opt for a butter that will impart a delicious flavor to the turkey, such as herb-infused butter or garlic butter.
- Make sure the butter is cold: This will help it solidify inside the turkey and prevent it from leaking out during cooking.
- Inject the butter evenly: Use a marinade injector to distribute the butter throughout the turkey, ensuring that it reaches all parts of the meat.
- Don't overcook the turkey: To prevent the turkey from drying out, cook it to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as measured by a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.
- Let the turkey rest before carving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.

Butter-injected turkey is a delicious and flavorful way to prepare this classic holiday dish. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your turkey is cooked to perfection and enjoyed by all. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, give this recipe a try and impress your family and friends with your culinary skills.
