Injection necessary if I brine wet or dry?

[Garret Komjathy]

I was considering a melted butter injection. Necessary or not?

I usually don't but I plan on it this year. I just picked up a jar of Zatarain's Injector roasted garlic.

I've dry brined for several years and the birds (Butterball & Jenny-O) always come out tasty and tender. Have done this when using both the rotisserie and pellet grill. Really never found any need to inject turkeys, or any other meat.

I buy natural or organic turkeys They aren’t enhanced/self basting. I don’t brine them but I do inject butter and stuff with oyster stuffing.

I bought an organic turkey and injected this year. I had done some chickens this way earlier. They were great, so I figured I'd give this a shot. I used some turkey stock, butter, and a rub mixed together.
