It's amazing how many different opinions there are on how to deal with turkeys. With all the different shows that are on these days about cooking you could lose your mind figuring out what to do. I was watching one show on NBC in the morning when they were saying to not to unwrap a turkey to thaw it and that both brining AND injecting are good. A show on Food Network says to unwrap the turkey and thaw in pan with plastic wrap and that both brining AND injecting will make the meat soggy. I bought fresh turkey and breast this year. The turkey is being done by the wife in the oven. I am doing the breast in the smoker. The breast is brining now in the slaughterhouse recipe. I still cant decide whether to inject or not. I just want my first smoked breast to be as juicy as possible.
