Here's a good question from reader Jason. He asks:
This year I wanted to try something different when I fry my turkey and came up with the idea of a cranberry cajun injection. Have you ever heard of this? Google only produces recipe results in pork cooking.
Is there more I can do with a Cajun injector than your average savory or spicy marinade? Like a cranberry chutney cayenne infusion perhaps?
Jason, we don't have any experience injecting turkeys with marinade, so we have little advice to give. We'll throw this out to the readers!
One note, though. We would suggest searching for any kind of recipes that use both cranberries and Cajun seasoning and take inspiration from their flavors and proportions. Look at these spicy turkey samosas with cranberry chutney, for instance; maybe you can borrow some of the spices for your own marinade.

Readers, do you inject your turkey with a marinade, and if so, have you ever used a fruit or something sweet to liven it up?

Don't make a cajun turkey! I tried Emerils Cajun recipe last year with the injector, Thank God it was a back up experimental turkey! It was so hot, in a bad way. I saw him make it on Regis and Kelly and thought it might be good -- boy was I wrong, I suggest if you try it out to have a back up just in case! Gobble Gobble!

Your crazy! I made this last year and everyone that tried it couldnt quit asking me where I got the recipe. I recieved many compliments on it and I personally thought it was the best turkey I had ever had.
Maybe you didn't cook it right =p
I didnt deep fry mine as it says to in many cases that I found on the internet so maybe that made a difference?
