Default deep frying turkey this year...need some answers please ;)

hello everyone,

i purchased a turkey fryer this year and am going to give this a shot.
i have a few questions which i'm unable to find while googling. any
info will be most helpful.

1. when injecting the marinade with the syringe, am i putting it in the
middle of the meat...or am i trying to get it between the sking and
meat? The later seems like what most people are talking about when they
refer to the turkey "inflating".

2. i've also come across posts which mention putting a whole onion in
the cavity of the turkey. this seems pretty interesting, i just toss
this in before frying and leave it in the whole time right?

3. are there any other vegetables i should toss in the cavity as
well...i'm pretty intrigued by this method

4. i've come across many marinade recipes. i myself would like to try
the hot ones with cayenne pepper however i feel the majority of guests
would like something mild. which type seems to be most pleasing to the
mass?

5. please feel free to share any of your favorite methods (vegetables,
spices, marinades etc.). i'd love to hear them!

thanks all!
