TURKEY INJECTED WITH RANCH DRESSING

Categories main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 to 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
One 12-pound turkey, giblets and neck removed from cavity, at room temperature
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Gravy, for serving, optional

Steps:

Combine the mayonnaise, milk, parsley, dill, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, garlic salt and pepper in a blender and process until smooth, about 2 minutes. Measure out 3/4 cup of the ranch dressing and set the remainder aside for serving at the table.
Fill a turkey injector with the 3/4 cup ranch dressing and inject 2 tablespoons of the dressing into each thigh of the turkey, 1 tablespoon into each drumstick and 3 tablespoons into each breast. Let the turkey stand at room temperature for 30 minute to let the dressing soak into the meat. Discard any of the unused ranch dressing in the injector (it has been in contact with the raw turkey).
Mix together the olive oil and melted butter in a small bowl. Brush the turkey with the oil mixture and then sprinkle with salt.
Preheat an oil-less fryer for cooking (alternatively, follow oven-roasting directions below). Place the turkey breast-side up in the fryer with the legs in the deepest part. Cook the turkey until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast reaches 160 degrees F, about 2 hours. (The breast cooks slower than the legs in the oil-less fryer; carryover cooking will cook it the rest of the way through.) Remove the basket insert with the turkey and let the bird rest at least 30 minutes over a roasting pan. Remove the turkey from the basket, carefully dislodging any parts of the turkey that are touching the basket so the skin does not tear. Carve the turkey and serve with the reserved ranch dressing or gravy.
Alternatively, roast the turkey in the oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Inject the turkey with the dressing as directed above and set it in a roasting pan. Roast, basting every 30 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh reaches 160 degrees F, about 3 hours (the carryover cooking will cook it the rest of the way through). Transfer to a carving board and let rest 30 minutes before carving.

Categories Sauces

Time 50m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 tablespoons kosher salt (DO NOT USE REGULAR SALT! WILL CLOG YOUR INJECTOR)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons white pepper (DO NOT USE BLACK PEPPER, WILL CLOG YOUR INJECTOR)
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup melted butter

Steps:

Melt butter slowly as not to burn.
Add rest of ingredients and mix well.
(I place in a covered bowl and shake vigorously).
Inject into your turkey and allow to sit for one hour or more before deep frying.
HINT: We were cooking the turkey while camping, and decided to leave it in the bag to inject it, so it would not be so messy!
It worked great!

Tips:

Make sure your turkey is completely thawed before injecting it. This will ensure that the marinade is evenly distributed throughout the turkey.
Use a sharp knife to make small incisions in the turkey. This will help the marinade to penetrate the meat.
Inject the marinade slowly and evenly into the turkey. Be sure to inject the marinade into the breast, thighs, and legs.
Cover the turkey and refrigerate it for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours. This will allow the marinade to flavor the turkey.
When you are ready to cook the turkey, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help the turkey to cook evenly.
Cook the turkey according to the recipe instructions. Be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the turkey is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mama Bevier's Fried Turkey Injection is a delicious and flavorful way to add moisture and flavor to your Thanksgiving turkey. This marinade is made with a combination of butter, olive oil, garlic, thyme, sage, and rosemary. The marinade is injected into the turkey, which helps to distribute the flavor throughout the meat.
