been there done that.. i would select a sauce you like a lot on and in turkey.. get the injector kit at the grocery.. i like the cajun version.. that will get you started.. follow the injection instructions.. ive used these guys a few times.. http://www.cajuninjector.com/cajun-injector-grilling-kits.html.. it all depends on the ending flavor you preferr.. ive done cajun, orange, apple italian spices etc.. etc... we typically fry our turkey so.. if you do that your oil will pick up whatever flavor you cook.. but if you bake it.. it should be good too just takes a lot longer.. experimentation is the best way to get it right.. just remember that if you get the bird too hot with superhots no one else might be able to eat any.. which might be good or bad.. suggestion.. cook two of em 1 traditional then you get the second one..
If you like your turkey with cranberry sauce, make it spicy. Fresh cranberry sauce is so easy! Buy fresh cranberries, cook down with sugar, fresh lemon juice, and orange zest. Add peppers for heat.
Throw one clove in for a unique taste.

thanks for thw suggestions everybody. Cranberry sauce sounds like a winner. Thank heavens a turkey has two sides. One for the little chile head and one the hotter chile head.
What would be cool is a jerk turkey and allspice cranberry sauce. Dig.
That does sound good. Can almost taste it!
sounds good might have to try it myself
1st step done bought a marinade injector. Now just need a good jerk recipe . Any suggestions?
In a food processor pulse Scotch Bonnet peppers, escallion (or substitute scallions), sea salt, black pepper, allspice, nutmeg, grapeseed oil, brown sugar, thyme. When it looks like pesto it is ready. Stuff this under the skin. On top of the skin, rub it with unsalted butter and a dry rub of Scotch Bonnet (or hab) powder, allspice, brown sugar, onion powder, black pepper, salt.
Can you inject this into the turkey ?
Probably too thick, depends on your injector. This is for under the skin, if you want to inject flavor, take the rub that you make for the skin, and add apple cider. Then, inject!
Count down to jerk turkey has begun. Will give the update on how it comes out. With pictures if I can figure out how to put them on!
yeah dan you have some really good ideas... sounds really tasty
Oh sweet! I can't wait to see!
Jerk Turkey Experiment
ingredients: 1 onion, chopped, 1/3 cup thyme leaves, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 4 cloves garlic, 3 fatalii's, 4 tbs minced ginger, 4 tbs soy sauce, 4 tbs canola oil, 1 tbs brown sugar, 4 teaspoons ground allspice, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
blend all together
Mix ~ 1/2 cup of the mix with pinapple juice and inject into turkey
Pour about 1/2 mixture under the skin, and then rub it in to coat the turkey
Remaining mixture pour and coat the outside of the turkey
Turkey all cooked up! We probably should have left the tent on a little longer so it get so dark.
The best of all is still have the leftovers.
Made the allspice cranberry sauce, very good , not much left of that.

Nice, how did it taste?
Pretty good. Could use some tweeking with the injection . Next time will get a bigger bird. No much left.
