Big Easy Beer Turkey Injected

[smokinadam]

So I got my turkey in the big easy my late father absolutely loved using. My mother is celiac so I needed to go gluten free so I needed to drink a foster to use in the fryer for the beer holder. I then filled with Redbridge, Canadian chicken seasoning, onion, and some Lawrys. Rubbed the turkey down in oil and shook lawrys on the outside of the bird. I did inject it with 4T butter, 1 cup gluten free chicken broth, 1t garlic powder, 1t onion powder, 1t black pepper, 1t salt, and 1/2t white pepper.
More to come!

Final product. Had it in for little over 4 hours and pulled when I had reading above 160 in the breast and was very surprised that there was still beer in the can. Usually with the big easy it sucks all of it out and into the bird but I'm glad it didn't. The injection was so so as it didn't get everywhere. Really nice and moist turkey though and great cold today!

Looks great Adam!  

 I stopped injecting once I started brining.  The brine gets to all the meat.

brining was my plan but my bucket was in use with some Canadian bacon curing. Next year it will be a turkey breast only as everyone ate the breast and didn't touch any of the dark. I really enjoy brine as well. Thanks for the points.
