How Big Is Your Turkey?

[StagLefty]

My turkey is 6' tall and about 165 lbs. but I still have hope for him. Just kidding . I'm a Honey Baked Ham guy for Thanksgiving and prime rib for Christmas.

I am cooking 4 turkeys this year (36 ppl showing up at my house) 2 oven baked, one in the electric roaster, and one deep fried.

THe one going in the roaster will be brined for 24 hours in a large plastic rubber maid container, with a brine season for wild game bird that I bought at sportsmans warehouse, but instead of water, I'll be using vegetable stock. I did the same last year, and let me tell you, it comes out so tender your don't even need utensils to take the turkey apart.

Seriously.

I'm going to have to try this technique (already cut and pasted your instructions into a Word doc for use later!) - but not for the Holiday meal -- never experiment!

TMI!

Is it illegal to smoke a turkey or something?

Only if you soak it in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical compound found in the cannabis plant...BTW, I'm not a pot user; I had to look up THC.).
