Shake's Honey brine was the very first brine I ever tried several years ago... It s mighty good!

If it has not been posted before, here it is...

1 gal water
8 oz pickling salt (kosher salt)
1 oz tender quick
3 bay leaves
1/4 tsp gnd cloves
8 oz (1.5#) honey

Bring to boil and let cool. You can make up enough to soak whole turkey in brine for 48 hours or use to inject. By far, the best urkeys I've ever tasted!

I have used a similiar recipe except it called for a container of pickling spices with it. Often I can make a turkey that tastes similiar to a ham with these spices. Always gets great reviews from those freeloaners eating up my master pieces!
 
I modified my( R2D2),Brinkman with the info. from this site. Smoked some Poultry this morn. BOY what a difference it made for fire control and keeping an even heat. I love it. Thanks for the input of ALL on the forum.
