I got a turkey dirt cheap from the store. It’s been injected with “up to 8%” of a solution. I want to roast it whole. The recipe I’m looking at calls for barding the turkey with salt pork.
If the turkey has been injected with a solution, is barding necessary?
If it is, then, since my husband does not eat pork, what else can I bard the turkey with?
TIA!
Forget the barding. Just use a roasting bag.
You can probably get suet (beef fat) for free at the meat counter.

Beef caul fat.
