An injector for a combustor of a gas turbine engine is provided with a plurality of first vanes radially arrayed about a central axis of the injector and a plurality of second vanes radially arrayed about the central axis of the injector and disposed radially inward of the plurality of first vanes. A plurality of fuel injection holes are disposed nearer to a trailing edge than to a leading edge of the second vanes for injecting fuel into compressed air passing through over the second vanes. The trailing edge of each of the second vanes includes a non-planar profile configured to induce turbulence in the compressed air to thereby mix the fuel with the compressed air and reduce the surfaces on which undesirable flame anchoring may occur.
