Honey-Brined and Smoked Turkey

I highly recommend this -- I have done brine and it is excellent - however, we fry the turkey. An easier and just as tasty brine is (6 quarts hot water, 1 1/2 cups kosher salt, 1 pound dark brown sugar, 5 pounds ice).

Happy Thanksgiving everyone :)

@ezeating: You can try the brine minus the salt, although I don't know how much flavor the turkey will pick up, salt is a pretty important part of the equation. It can't really do any harm, so I would say give a shot and report back how it turned out.

Good luck.

Ok - I totally want to make this but I have kosher turkey breast - help - Do I brine minus the salt? Will it come out the same with the breast?

I made this last year to rave review. The skin wasn't as good looking but it was delicious. I think i'm going to make it again this year and pay closer attention to the skin, that is a beautiful red it has in the picture

Wow...I think I just drooled into my keyboard. This sounds amazing.

We're hosting my family for Thanksgiving this year, and among the guests is my ultra-frugal, no-bargain-is-too-good-to-pass-up, and "I'm an expert on all things" father. Several years ago, he had a bad experience with a Butterball brand turkey. He called the company to complain and got coupons for three free turkeys in the mail. Well...as you might expect, that made the pain of the terrible turkey go away in his mind and Butterball was redeemed. Nonetheless, last year, he opted away from the Butterball brand and went with a less expensive grocery store variety. While cheap, it was terrible, and he was sorely depressed when they didn't send any coupons in the mail. He's called three times to see what variety we've purchased and how we're cooking it. I think I'll tell him we're having this. Perhaps the only thing Dad likes better than a bargain is a tasty treat out of a smoker! Happy Thanksgiving!

This has got to be the yummiest tasting turkey ever. I love the salty turkey meat with the sweet honey finish. Awesome recipe.

I finally brined a turkey and it came out too salty, I followed a recipe which I seldom do, I'll have to work on the ratios of salt:water:sugar to our tastes aside from that the flavor was great I added a jalapeno and a serrano rough slice with seeds and one medium valencia orange juiced and sliced.

@ranger99: You can cook this between 225-325 and it'll turn out fine. I cook it at a higher temperature to get a crisper skin and to make sure the bird doesn't become overly smokey, which ends up overpowering all other flavors in the turkey.

Smoking meat is normally done at 225 - 325, does this recipe call for 400 degrees for the full cooking time? Can anyone help me out here? I have a pellet smoker and would love to give this a try.

Alton Brown had instructions on how to make your own homemade smoker on his F.N. site.. I am not sure if they are still there or not.
