I've been asked to cook 5 Turkey's for my wife's family Thanksgiving. There a bunch of us and we all love our turkey.
I plan to use my tried and true Turkey brine (which I can't find the recipie for at this moment) that has orange juice and cranberry juice in it. Has turned out some nice birds for me in the past. I also like to cook my birds breast down and then I insert 1-2 sticks of butter into the breast cavity. Been doing it this way for several years and man is it good!
So, what wood should I smoke these birds with? I have plenty of apple and hickory but thought there might be a different flavor I could hit with, any suggestions???
If I can remember to take pictures I'll do a Q-view post while I'm cooking.
Thanks guys!
