I have smoked turkeys many times and never have brined one, just always inject them
Well this year someone gave me a tip, use one of those large zip loc bags like you use for clothes and seal it up in that and drop in the cooler. WORKS GREAT.
Well brined both the one I did for Wife's Boss and ours each for 24+ hours(used molasses, honey, brown sugar, peppercorns, bay leaves, sea salt for brine)
Got ours on the hot smoker smoker at 6 am today and after 3 hours on the smoke(cherry wood chips every hour) I started spraying turkey with apple juice
Took turkey off smoker at 11:30 and let it rest 30/40 minutes and this was the best turkey EVER
Very moist and extremely tender. Could not get over how much difference the brine made:thumbsup:
