All set for turkey day tomorrow

[medeloach]

I'm brining a 16 pounder using: kosher salt, apple cider, fresh oranges (5), crushed garlic, and a bit of soy sauce. Gonna inject with Tony Chachere's cajun butter tomorrow, rub it with SPPOG, and cook it in the Charbroil Big Easy Oil-less turkey fryer.

Also doing a turkey breast in my mini with some peach wood chips. Marinating that one in mojo criollo with a few oranges and some crushed garlic. Gonna inject that one with a different brand of cajun butter and rub it with Tony Chachere's seasoning.

Hope it all turns out well. Will be sure to post some pron tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Nice plan. Have you considered trussing your bird for the Big Easy?

Trussing

Nice plan. Have you considered trussing your bird for the Big Easy?

Actually, I've been thinking about it. I did a 14 lb bird for coworkers last week and had a heck of a time getting it out of that little cage. Perhaps trussing will make it a little easier and help it cook evenly? I really think I'd like to get one of those stands that go in oil fryers to make it easier to extract when finished.
