Omit the step of "rubbing salt", it's not neccesary. I let the turkey brine for 2 days in the fridge, IT WAS PERFECT!!! We used the fruit and onions to stuff it with, along with some sausage. After that, we smoked it (13LBS) for 9 hours. Doesn't get much better than that!!! WOULD RECCOMEND TO ANYONE!!!!

I didn't care for this, just wasn't the way I remember bread pudding. My family however, liked it. I would suggest blanching the raisins, and cutting the bread into 1/2" cubes (mine were apprx 1"). The top parts of the bread were getting dry and a little hard during baking, so I added about half of the topping while baking to add moisture, having 1/2 left over is PLENTY.

This is great and makes SOOOO much. What a great way to feed alot of people with a little meat! The rice can be scaled back to half, and is still good, but don't omit it.
