How To Make Your Turkey Taste Better INSTANTLY [Adding Flavor] Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Uploaded by KevinWeiTV on Nov 24, 2010
Imagine getting your favorite flavor getting deep into your Thanksgiving turkey! I have a solution for all of you in this user friendly step-by-step instructional video.
To make this work and to get the most from your injection sauce you need to start with a liquid that doesn't contain anything that might clog up the needle. Avoid flaky herbs, crushed garlic or anything else that might have a tough time getting through the needle. Good things to look for seasoned oils, vinegars, finely crushed spices, wines or beers.
Secondly, make sure to spread out your injection pattern. You want to get small amounts of the solution into as many places as possible. You also want to aim the needle to the middle of the meat. If you over shoot, the sauce will just slip through to the other side of the meat. If you don't get it in far enough it will seep out the hole it went in through. One tip is to think about making 40 injections instead of 4.
On a final note try not to overpower the flavor of the turkey. You might be tempted to add a lot of hot sauces or cayenne and end up with a turkey too hot to eat. Go with subtle and mild flavors or use strong flavors in small amounts. Remember you want to enhance the flavor of your turkey not cover it up.
A flavor injector or marinade injector is essentially a syringe with a long metal needle that allows you to push marinade or sauce into uncooked meat, or even vegetables. This can impart tremendous flavor to your dish after it is cooked, and you can use a variety of different marinades for the injection process. Occasionally you'll find a pre-filled flavor injector that comes with a certain type of meat, but more often, you'll need to prepare your own light sauce or marinade to inject into meat.
Like most syringes, the flavor injector has a plunger, which when depressed sends liquid into meats. It also has a long needle, sometimes ones that are replaceable if you can't sufficiently clean the needle you use. The container part of the injector may have measurements along the side, which tell you measure precisely how much liquid has gone into the meat. This can be helpful if you're following recipes that suggest a specific amount of flavor injection in different parts of a large roast, or whole animal like a chicken or turkey.
When using a flavor injector, you need to insert the needle well into the middle of the meat in order to get in the most marinade. For instance in meat cooked in its skin, like turkey, you want to make sure you're a good way into the meat, or the flavor may only get as far as the layer between the skin and the meat. You also have to choose a relatively thin sauce or marinade since the meat only allows for a certain amount of additional liquid to be injected.
You can choose a variety of different types of things to inject into meat. Soy sauce or tempura-based sauces are popular. Hot sauces, like those made with chili oil can give your meat lots of Cajun style. Some prefer a simple salt-water mix, and others add finely minced herbs to vinegar and oil sauces. Injecting meat with acidic ingredients like vinegar, wine or lemon juice helps tenderize the meat and partially cook it. This means your meat may cook more quickly, and you'll need to carefully follow the cooking instructions when using acidic based ingredients with your flavor injector.
