How to Make Jab Your Turkey With Lemon Garlic Marinade
- In a blender, combine 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add 6-8 cloves garlic, dropping them in one at a time while the blender is running.
- Gradually add the zest of 1 large lemon (about 2 tablespoons).
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and pureed.
- Using a turkey injector, inject the marinade into various parts of your thawed turkey. Aim for the breast, thighs, and drumsticks.
- If the marinade is too thick to pass through the injector, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Gently massage the turkey to help distribute the marinade evenly over the skin.
- Place the turkey in a large food-safe plastic bag or a brining bag.
- Seal the bag, pressing out excess air, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
