Posting for those that aren't aware...brined turkeys bake way faster than unbrined
My 18 pound Butterball turkey,
6:50 AM - pulled from the brine and rinsed thoroughly
7:00 AM - seasoned and rested at room temperature for 1 hour
8:00 AM - popped in the oven at 325F (verified temp)
10:15 - Thighs are at 165F - pulled from oven
TOTAL COOK TIME = 2 hours and 15 minutes to get the thighs to 165F
Be aware - This is nearly twice as fast as un-brined!
It is now resting in the cooler, blanketed, will carve in 90 minutes - serving at noon
