    I started brining my turkeys two years ago. They taste way better brined.

    what do you put in your brine?
  • Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 1,295
    Salt, brown sugar, vegetable stock, black pepper corns, allspice berries and candied ginger. I brine the bird for overnight for about 24 hours. I add rosemary and thyme to the cavity. Turns out great.

    That does sound good! One thing I would recommend trying is making some compound butter with rosemary and thyme, let that harden in the fridge overnight. Then slice some pieces up and slide them under the skin while smoking. I'm not going to win any healthy eating awards!

    I use a barrel BBQ er indirect heat smoke for only 30 to 40 mins season with compound butter sage / ltry no more than 15 lb bird unstuffed and apple wood bacon over the top 170 inner temp rest for 30 mins cut. Based through the cooking process

    That sounds awesome, but it seems like it would be a lot of work; especially since I do all the cooking for my family.

    Have to give it a try this year. We are usually never home for Thanksgiving, but will have to dig up some recipes. I use a Bradley smoker.

    I usually do a standard turkey, stuffed with maripoux (sp?), green and red peppers and quartered green apples. Then a compound butter rub under the skin.

    i brine all my birds, chickens, ducks, cornish hens, all of them . Makes them flavorful and sweet. I've got a Viaje Dark Meat waiting for me after the meal.
