    Default Smoked Turkey


    Smoking 4 Turkeys for Brother-N-Law's office party. Going to smoke them the day before. ??? What is the best way to keep these birds overnight so they can have them for lunch the next day???? Thanks!
    Another ?? Do most of you Brine your turkeys? I usually do but with four to smoke thinking about skipping that process.

    I Brine mine for about 2 days. 2 gallons of water. 1 1/2 cups each, salt and brown sugar, then toss in some fresh Rosemary, sage and thyme. I throw it into a really good ice chest that'll hold ice for a few days and add in about 3 or 4 bags of Ice. Check this Video out, this is what I'm doing this year.

    Don't brine if they are already "basted" or "self-basting" or "enhanced".

    Turkey was a processed turkey and already had a solution injected. Tried to stay away from too much salt. I just made up my own sauce and injected the bird. They turned out pretty good.
