Favorite Turkey?

[swamprabbit59]

Whatever seasoning you like rubbed all over it, then fill it with the Cajun injector that you like. Smoke at about 250-300 for just long enough to turn the skin dark brown on the whole Turkey. 3 hrs max. Wrap up really good in tinfoil and throw it in the oven on 180 for 10+ hrs. Best smoked Turkey you’ll ever eat. Way more moist then any brine will do. I’m doing prolly my tenth one tonight

Injected with creole butter, rubbed with Ragin Blaze and smoked.

Fried is a very close second but much more of a PITA and mess.

We all prefer the white meat. I normally just smoke a couple of bone in breasts but they were more expensive than I was willing to pay this year.

Smoked, brined, injected, with cajun seasonings. Usually white on top of homemade dressing and gravy.

Never done this but you have my attention.

What kind of difference will I notice. More moisture kept in the bird? The reason I prefer dark meat is that breast meat dries out too much.

I find that one of the best things about brining turkeys is that, in addition to adding flavor (flavor that actually penetrates the whole bird), the white meat retains a lot of moisture. I won’t cook a turkey without brining first.

I'm partial to the old cedar shingle and fresh cow manure recipe.

Smoked

Brine turkey for 24 hours then remove and place in buttermilk for another 24 hours. Season with what you like and smoke.

I need to show my mother in law this thread. She thinks I'm crazy when I say a baked turkey SUCKS.

As a kid all the adults must've hoarded the dark meat because I hated turkey. Once I stopped eating white meat I'll eat it any which way.
