Here's how you deal with that problem. What is causing the pops is water in the butter. Butter isn't solid fat. So well before you plan on injecting it, melt the butter in a skillet over a low heat. Keep it on the heat until it finishes bubbling. Then remove to cool. No water, no steam, no popping oil.

Basically you're making ghee, but you keep the heat low enough to keep the milk solids from browning.

Look at Wikipedia, or correct them.

Dude, where do you think I got the info about the real reason for Thanksgiving. Wikipedia! President Lincoln made the last Thursday in November a permanent national holiday to celebrate the victory at Gettysburg!

Hmmm, wonder if that's where Mom got it. We've been enjoying it for many years.

Im injecting a premade mix, not whole butter

and you have to keep the temperature up to bake or it will take forever, somewhere between 325 and 350 degrees

I'm talking about the butter.

You need to eliminate that popping, especially if you're talking about 3 to 4 inches. That's the kinda of thing that causes fires and third degree burns.

Good Eats had a whole episode on frying turkeys. Not something I'm especially interested in, but entertaining none the less. You should check it out.

So your talking about this premade mix, cooking this liquid in a skillet?

(Just so we are clear, its LIQUID, almost clear with spices)

I ask because everyone I have talked to stated simply take the syringe and draw this liquid into it and then inject into the turkey.

100 people, same answer, and same as on container.

Thanks for any additional feedback

Well, if it's a liquid, it isn't butter. Butter ain't liquid at room temperature. So never mind then.

Just be careful old man. Turkey firers are dangerous business.
