Help with turkey

The Saga Continued with Prons

What a dinner we had, I surprised myself!:-D The rub and injection method worked perfectly. The skin was crisp and the meat moist and juicy. It took 8 hours and I had to crank up the temp towards the end, but got the internal temp I was looking for. And the popper popped.

Oh yeah, I put some of my special chicken stock in a spray bottle and sprayed the skin about every twenty minutes for the last two hours. I think that helped a lot!

First pron is the appetizer. Home grown tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, from Antonio's, topped with Basik's Italian spice in EVOO. You can find it here.

Next, notice how juicy the meat looks. I haad let rest for about 30 minutes in a foil tent.
