HONEY, BUTTER, AND ORANGE INJECTED SMOKED TURKEY

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.

Steps:

• Strain cooled sauce.
• Using an injecttion needle inject liquid into the turkey throughout all the breast and thighs.
• Making one hole inject 1/3 of the liquid and move needle 1/3 of a turn to inject a 1/3 turn again and inject remaining.
• (This is so you are not putting holes all over the turkey).
• 2 injections per thigh and 3 per breast should be good.
• This can be marinaded 1-24 hours before you cook the turkey. Any that oozes out rub gentle over the turkey.
• Proceed to grill, fry or roast your turkey.
