What a way to spend a Sunday. Just put the cornbread for the stuffing in the oven. Decided to use the herb butter under the skin instead of a bbq rub. I salted the the bird yesterday and just took it out rinsed it and patted it dry. It'll be going on the wsm in an hour. I hope this works out it being my first turkey and all. Any last minute tips?
 
Just had some blackened striped bass I caught for lunch. It was smack yo' mamma in the mouth delicious. Who'd of thunk getting your cast iron skillet white hot putting melted butter and a heavily seasoned piece of fish in there would have been a great idea. Turkey looks good too.
 
Did you brine it with anything ? Just curious if it stayed moist ? Havent ried one yet but been tempted

Thanks, Stan
 
No I didn't brine it. I salted it the night before and slathered it in herb butter. Slicing it up in a minute.
 
Wow looks good. I'm going to try smoking one soon, my girlfriend told her mom I would smoke a turkey this year for thanksgiving

Mike I wish I had thought of taking a pic of the blackened striper. I've done it before and I'm always impressed with how good it comes out.

try injecting the bird with juice just before cooking. I don't brine anymore.


I did about a dozen turkeys last year and was very pleased with the results. Run you cooker hotter like Biscuit does hear (I prefer 275 -300).


Our favorite last year was injected with a 50/50 mix of cranberry and pineapple juice, rubbed under the skin with Yardbird and then glazed at the end with a cranberry pineapple glaze. It was lightly smoked with a little apple chunks.


It was so good the wife asked that I cook that recipe for our t-day fest last year.
