This is the classic solution injected into the meat of turkeys which are fried Cajun style.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup liquid crab boil seasoning
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 ounces (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Place all of the ingredients in a saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat until the butter is completely melted. Stir well and continue cooking until the sauce has completely liquefied.

  3. 3

    Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool for at least 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Use while still warm enough to remain in a liquid state. Inject directly into the breast, leg, and thigh meat. Do this a few times to make sure the marinade is well dispersed throughout the turkey. Wipe away any excess that may leak out. Deep-fry or roast as desired.
