    OK then, I'll take your word for it. Used to do a lot of deep fried turkeys both camping and at home. They were always a big hit.

    We've injected teriyaki in many Turkeys and had no issues deep frying-I'm pretty sure the bird pretty much gets sealed up as soon as it hits the hot oil and the marinade just combines with the bird's juices-Buffalo sauce is GREAT too.

    This stuff is awesome...eatin is sucha big part of campin!

    Linda, no alcohol or rocket fuel in the broth. LOL!
