Gobs Of Garlic! Deep Fried Turkey
Filed under: General, Awesome Recipe Ideas, Awesome WOW! YIKES! And GOBS OF GARLIC!
Posted by: Awesome Specialty @ 6:24 pm

Hi there: 

I just wanted to share a recipe with you. 

I made a marinade/ injection sauce for my Deep Fried Turkey.

 

3 tbsp of Gobs of Garlic-finely ground 

(an attempt to make it small enough for the injector)

  1 Cup of Oil 

1 Cup of White Zinfandel wine 

1 tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce 

 

In a small sauce pan, warm the Oil and wine over a low heat. 

Add the Worcestershire Sauce and the ground up Gobs of Garlic. 

Allow to simmer for 10 minutes. 

Remove from heat and allow to cool. 

(I let it sit over night) 

Pour mixture through some cheese cloth to separate the larger parts of seasoning. 

Use the liquid to inject the turkey, rub some of the separated seasonings 

on the outside of the turkey, refrigerate overnight. 

Rub the turkey again and then place 3 gloves of garlic, 

2 smashed and one whole into the cavity of the turkey  

along with one whole large onion. 

Place turkey into the deep fryer.

 

The flavor was fantastic, the onion was tasty also.

You should have tasted the turkey.

It was the 1st time there was no turkey left over. 

It was literally picked clean.

WOW! Marinated Chicken Tenders

Awesome WOW Marinaded Chicken!

1 Tbsp. of Wow!

I added EVOO to the spice until it made a semi thick mixture.

 (probably about 1/3 cup of the oil)

Once the spices activated it seemed to thicken

 so I added about 3 Tbsp. of water. 

I mixed the mixture until all the spices were saturated. 

I bought chicken breast tenders and put them in a tupperware container

with the Wow! Marinade. 

I let it sit overnight and then baked it for about 30 min at 350. 

It was tender and juicy and full of flavor. 

I can’t wait to try other recipes. 

I took some of the leftovers to work and everyone raved about my cooking. 

I knew it had nothing to do with my cooking, it was the Wow!
