This Turkey met the TBS !

[Rafter H BBQ]

Hey all, had a turkey in the freezer that needed used up due to getting a 1/2 of beef Monday..... so figured I'd introduce this turkey to what we all know round here as TBS ! But before I could arrange a proper meet & greet.... Soaked the turkey in Slaughterhouse brine for 18 hrs.

So after the brine bath, pulled it out....Rubbed down with peanut oil then put on some Lawry's garlic salt & fresh, coarse ground black peppercorns with the pepper mill..... Loosened the skin by the breast & put in 3/4 stick of butter cubed up !

Thanks cf, between the 1/2 beef & huntin season coming up in a few months, hoping to keep the freezers full !! Hoping for a lot of TBS to be rollin !

Awesome lookin Turkey!! Does the peanut oil help crisp up the skin? My father in law used to make them on his charcoal grill before he passed away and I have never been able to make a turkey that tasted as good as his, but will continue to try!
