Smoked turkey, looks awesome. Something about brining and than frying doesn't seem like it would go together to well. Water and OIL?

Yeah, you need to dry it well. I patted it dry then set it up in front of a fan in a cool place for 30 minutes or so.
 
i've done them both ways and liked the smoked bird better. also thought that when serving cold as left-overs the fryed turkey wasn't nearly as good as the smoked
 
Fried Turkeys the last couple years. Smoked my 1st Turkey this year. I actually spatchcocked it. I'm not a big turkey fan but this one turned out great, very moist.

I just used my usual rub (Dr. BBQ's big time rub) right before putting it on so I thought the breast was a little bland. Next time for sure gonna brine it or do something to get some more flavor, but couldn't have been happier with the way this one turned out.
