Hubby and I smoked a turkey for our 4th of July cookout/anniversary party (yes, we married on the 4th of July). Who says turkey is just for Thanksgiving. This brine added a nice flavor and kept the turkey juicy. Hubby also kept spritzing the turkey with apple juice to keep it moist and the combination resulted in one of the best turkeys I ever had.

This was the first brine I tried, and let me tell you.... The breast meat was so moist it was dripping. I cooked on grill for about two hours.(i used whole free range chicken) with hickory chunks. This was awesome..... will never cook another whole chicken with out using....... You have to try this....

Seemed salty the first day, but toned down after refrigeration.

I used this recipe for brining my turkey, then grilled the turkey over charcoal grill with hickory wood chips. YUMMMMM!

I tried this for Thanksgiving. It really was out of this world! Turkey was juicy and tender. Make sure you put a turkey pop up timer in the breast...it cooked faster!!

I lined a 5 gallon bucket with a large 30lb turkey bag and followed the recipe as written. The turkey was in the brine 17 hours. Most tender turkey I have ever cooked! The temperature outside was cold enough, it would have been a challenge to get it in the fridge.
