Creole Butter Turkey Injection

🧂 Ingredients

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Easy Creole Turkey Rub
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce

  optional
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

• 1 Crush the turkey rub in a mortar and pestle to a fine grind. Set aside.
  
  Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Skim off any foam around
  the edges and discard.
  
  Add white wine, rub, hot sauce, and smoked paprika to the butter. Simmer for 1
  minute until well combined. Remove from heat and let the mixture sit for 10-15
  minutes, or until cooled.
• 2 Using a meat injector, carefully draw marinade into a syringe and release the
  excess air. Inject a small bit of marinade into multiple spots in the turkey,
  about 2 1 1/2" deep and 2 inches apart.
  
  Gently wrap the turkey with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator over
  night. Skip this step is you plan to brine the bird. Use injection marinade 1
  hour before the bird goes on the grill, smoker, or oven.
  
  Season bird with Creole rub (or your favorite rub), and cook as directed.
• 3 Discard any remaining marinade that has come into contact with raw meat.
