Turkey day is getting closer and I’m preparing for the big day. This will be the first year that Eugenia and I will be making a turkey. We’ll also be making mashed potatos, salad, stuffing and an apple pie. There are so many recipies for turkey marinade so I’ll just pick one that is easy. Right now i’m thinking of using 1 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup soy sauce, and 1/2 cup lemon juice, a little butter and placing onions, celery, italian seasoning and garlic inside the turkey. I bought a turkey injector which is basically a syringe used to inject the turkey with marinade. I supposedly will help prevent the turkey from drying out which is very common with the breast meat. I’ve looked on the web and read a few other ways people have prevented it by using a brown paper bag or flipping the turkey breast side down for a portion of the baking. The injector seemed the easiest of the options. I just have to make sure the marinade doesn’t have anything that will clog the needle.
