In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir butter, chicken stock, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, onion and garlic powder, thyme, oregano, sage, chicken bouillon powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt until the butter is completely melted.
Remove the marinade from the heat and let it cool for 8-10 minutes (you don't want the butter to start solidifying, but you don't want to burn yourself either).
Draw in the marinade and fill the meat injector. Turn it needle-side up to release excess air that floats to the top.
Carefully inject small amounts of the marinade into different parts of the turkey. Let the turkey marinate in the fridge for up to 48 hours before cooking, though you can roast it immediately if desired.

Carefully mix the marinade before filling your syringe every time. Giving it a good mix will ensure an even distribution of the spices and herbs.
All the seasonings need to be finely ground, so you could give them a blitz in a spice grinder to be extra sure they're fine enough.
Heat leftover marinade to boiling if using for gravy to kill the bacteria from raw poultry.
