I know I am very late in answering this, but I have cooked 12+ turkeys in the orion now. You do not have to inject at all, just rub with Olive Oil and put your favorite rub on the side. However, my favorite method is to brine the Turkey overnight and cook the next day. If you are still interested in the Brine recipe I will post it here.
This will be the O's first weekend off in the last month for me. I am using the week off for cleaning. A tip from the Orion Site:
Spray the whole cooker with Easy off oven cleaner and let sit over night. Take the O to the car wash and use the high pressure hose to blast off the grime...
I always rinse the O when I get home as some of the car washes used water that is being reused.

Not a bad idea, mine is black from cooking... I need to prep for a cook but don't know what I want to cook...

Looking good I pulled a couple of foil wrapped "ghosts" of past Orion cooks out of the freezer and moved to my refrigerator for work. (tomorrow) it'll be next week sometime before I have time for a cook...
