I try to squirt some in at different levels. I also try to minimize the number of holes I use and then push the needle in different direction, squirting a little bit, then moving to another spot without removing the needle.

Also do not go so deep that you go through the meat into the internal cavity. The marinade just shoots out. If you have spices and make your own run the spices through a blender first to keep your needle from getting jammed. I took several cups of seasoning mix and ran it through the magic bullet last night. I am deep frying 8 turkeys for family and friends. |

How far ahead of time do you inject them?

How far ahead of time do you inject them? I usually inject mine a few hours before putting them in the pot. Directly injecting gets it into the meat so so. If you really want flavor try brining over night. I don't have the time this year to do it so I am injecting. |

I've found that brining does a LOT more for a turkey than injecting as far as juiciness. If you are looking for a juicy bird don't think that you can skip the brine and go straight to injection...
In the words of arfcom, DO BOTH |

I've brined over the years and gotten rave reviews. Just thought I would try something new this year. I didn't think of doing both, hmmmmm.....

I've switched to "dry brining". I like the results even better. And it's not messy.

I highly recommend Alton Brown's dry brine technique.

I'm a fan of injecting turkey with apricot or peach brandy.
