Thanksgiving turkey
« on: November 23, 2017, 12:29:08 AM »
So last year I did just a turkey breast using DM’s brine and a few tips from another user on here.  It turned out amazing.  Followed pretty much the same steps this year, except on a full bird, and it was great once again.  It cooked a little fast, I thought, and once I sliced I put it in the oven for a bit more cooking time to get ride of a few pink spots.  Probes read 165 in the breast and 180on the legs after 3 ish hours.  Smoker was set to 250.  Pleasantly pleased.  I’ll be bringing it to work Thirsday for a pot luck we are having.

Hope everybody has a happy thanksgiving.
