Post your best Turkey recipe...

I do a brined turkey every year. Alton Brown did an episode on Good Eats where he introduced this idea, so my friend and I gave it a try. Turned out to be one of the best tasting turkeys I've had. Of course there are lots of ways to prepare a turkey but I don't think I could ever not brine one as the flavors and added moisture makes an amazing bird every time.

Here's the recipe and you can't go wrong following it step by step if you haven't had it before.

Another recipe that I do during the summer is a brined turkey then smoked with pecan wood. Smoked brined turkey is outstanding, but it's more of a nice summer BBQ style and I wouldn't replace my thanksgiving or Christmas turkey for it.

Malcom Reed has all the bases covered in this video for one of the best smoked turkey recipes I've tried.



Feel free to share some of your own, these are my two top favorites.
