They do not "castrate" male turkeys or chickens normally for the retail market. The testes in the birds are internal and a surgical procedure would be cost prohibitive. Since they're processed at such an early age it isn't necessary. My choice would be a hen but they will be in general lighter in weight. Even in cattle which the males are I'd still prefer a heifer for meat quality.

ok - let me move my questions to here:
1 - Smoking on the weber summit - use the low position and the diffuser or use the indirect method? 2 - Weber recipes have the bird sit in liquid - I've done this before and wonder why they dont use a rack - as you would in the over?

It's less work not wrapping it, and like I said no one makes a juicer turkey. Juices gush out the breast. I've done it both ways. I couldn't tell a difference. |

Has anybody found a roasting pan that they really like that fits a Large BGE?
I've got one that I've used many times over the years, but it is a non-stick, and I think I'm missing out on the Fond.... I want one that I can get some extra bits of flavor out of.

Any of these in the 14" size will fit perfectly. We bought the stainless one years ago. Very easy to clean. Liked it so much we bought a second one. https://www.paellapans.com/Pans-s/3.htm

Just finished doing the dry brine on my turkey, which I will never do again. I think maybe 2/3 of the brine remained on the turkey when I started to wrap it in plastic wrap. Hopefully the 3 days in the fridge will still do the job. Plastic wrap and I have never gotten along, and I made a mess of that, too. Next time will just be the old standard wet brine, even if this does end up being my best turkey ever.

It helps to have the turkey a little moist when you apply the dry brine (so it sticks) I always rinse my turkey before anyways, so this works well for me

Pruning shears, well scrubbed, work great.

Here is one more great idea how to make turkey juicy with marinade of wheat beer, soy sauce, orange juice. It's really tasty, I recommend to everyone to try it.
