My employer gave us turkeys for Thanksgiving and I am going to cut the bird into halves and smoke it.The problem is that it is prepped in that 6% solution so would I reduce the salt in my brine by 1/2?any educated guesses?
Well I smoked the bird today.It was ok but I wish I had brined it longer.It was a large bird that I cut in half(24#).I brined it for14 hours.If it wasnt a gift I wouldnt have bought a bird that had the solution.I used the McCormick rub which was good.Also used the cheesecloth butter baste.The skin was good and not rubbery or bitter.
