To inject or not?

[SmokinAl]

You guys using Tony's ought to try Cajun Injector marinades, they are the original creator of the cajun injectable marinades and I like them a whole lot better. My favorite 2 are creole butter and roasted garlic and herb.

I guess it's all about what you & your family like. I have tried the Cajun injectables & we like Tony C's better. I don't believe they make one for ham, so if you get a chance try Tony's ham injection.

Did not know Tony's made one for ham. I will look for it, thanks Al.

Man, ham is pretty rich already and pumping it... That said, seems like everyone was brining AND pumping their birds this year. They probably dipped it ranch dressing before eating too... :p

Hey, we didn't dip turkey in ranch. The brining helped though. Bird was so tender you could use a spoon to carve it <not quite that tender, but pretty close. You could how ever easily cut sliced pieces into smaller sizes with a plastic spoon. I tested that the next day to see>.

I still think injecting pork butts is the best thing to do though if you want to get unique flavours in!

I didnt even care that much for turkey and Thanksgiving until we started brining our turkeys. We have a couple favorites, guiness brine, bourbon, black tea and orange is my fave. The guiness brine does have a rub to go with it, might have to try rubbing the bird the nite before putting it in the oven or smoker

My last injected turkey I was sopping up the juices with handfuls of meat shredded off the carcass.
YUM!
