    Chef I usually make a cranberry juice brine and brine for 12-14 hrs then rub with oil and put whatever rub you want and smoke at 225°

      Chef while not my favorite the dessert turkey we made one year was really really good. we are going to try to find a morning this week, debone a turkey and make a turkey roll. It was something that Darkfish89 did once and it turned out good. We are still trying to find out what we want to stuff it with.

        blackbetty61 What’s in your cranberry juice brine other than cranberry juice. Never heard of it but sounds interesting.

          Inject cajun butter, apply a rub, and cook them in the Big easy Oil-less turkey fryer with cherry wood smoke.

              Jonathon Thanks, that looks worthy of a try. I’ll have about 25 people for Thanksgiving (Okay, I do believe getting together with friends and family is essential) So I’m looking at serving 2 to 3 turkeys. This will be one of those, different from what I typically serve.

                  Brined with the Alton Brown Orange Juice brine and smoked. I hope to do a couple like that when those birds go on sale in a little bit.

                    I have been Spatchcocking my turkeys for about 5 years now. This was last years. 23 Pound done in 1 hour 25 minutes. Because of the faster cook times, it is much more moist than traditional turkeys. turkey.jpg

                          What brand of turkey is everyone buying? Kroger and Butterball both had an 8% injection, Honeysuckle was a 5% injection?

                          Has anyone used Walton’s Turkey Cure and cold phosphate injection method? If so was it worth theveffort to inject and brine? Jonathon and @ Austin look so young in the video they did on it.

                              I like Jaindl turkey.
                              Usually, I just leave it in the salt and aroma (pepper, laurel) brine for a night. Then grill it in the roasting pan with broth in it. Basting it from time to time. Checking the temperature until it became 170F. Then rest - turkey and me with wine.
