I doing a 12 lb turkey for Sunday.  I just put the turkey in a brine for about 24 hours.  I am planning on putting the turkey in the  fridge for 12 hour to dry.  Is it best to inject the creole butter when I put it in the fridge or wait till when I putting it on the smoker?

Some folks say to inject it and let it sit over night to distribute the injection fluid.  I normally inject that AM, sprinkle heavily with rub and fry them.
