So here i go my first attempt at a Smoked turkey, if it ends up being a failure i wont be two upset because it was free. so had it in a brine solution since this one had apple juice, water, salt of cores and sugar, it was in that for about 12 hours.
right out of the brine with ground mustard seed rub
into the MES with hickory and mesquite chips. according to the Inkbird blutooth it hit the done temp about two hours to early. so going to finish in oven and to crisp the skin. here's out of smoker
and a shot of the drippings
out of the
skin got a little crisper was worried about drying it out so i stopped it
Tried a small piece tasted pretty good, a little salty but not to bad. the chips i used gave a nice flavor.
