You could try making the turkey. I've made it several years with some decent results, but I dont have a smoker and nothing I have had compares to the smoked turkey we had last year.

The real elephant in the room is that turkey isn't actually all that good

Last year we had a brined smoked turkey and it blew me away. Delicious.

I just read that wet brining isn't actually that effective but that dry brining

Simplest.... 1.5 cups kosher salt, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1.5 gal of water.

Ham is the worst part of a pig.

That just tells you how good a pig tastes.

Bad turkey is bad, but good turkey can be very good. But it does take a lot of

If the Turkey you eat is dry, then it is the cook, not the bird!!!!

Blue for Life

11/26/14 12:43pm

I've never had turkey taste all that different with some really good cooks

dchandle15

11/26/14 12:46pm

Huh? It's not supposed to be dry

workindev

11/26/14 12:49pm

Yes it is, turkey meat naturally does not have much moisture

dchandle15

11/26/14 1:11pm

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you have never had a turkey that was

cheezedawg

If that's true, then both sides of my family are not good at making turkey

haha kinda wish I could, too many cooks in the kitchen this weekend though

We do brisket instead. It surpasses turkey in every way.

While this is true. Turkey is still awesome

And that, my friend, is why you get a drum stick. Dark meat isn't dry at all.
