15 lbs Turkey for a Turkey Virgin

[SuperDave]

Maybe I misread, I thought you mentioned something about improving the veggies that you cook in the pan with the juices?

Yes. The veggies in the turkey pan get cooked in butter and turkey drippings.  They are fantastic and don't get thrown out.

That looked pretty good. I prefer the oven roasted vegetables, rubbed in oil and salted/seasoned over the pan and smoked method. I'm curious about the moisture level of the turkey? I can't deny, the end result looked good!  How long did you brine that 14+ pounder?
