I'm going to be smoking a turkey for Thankgiving and wanted to give it a trial run with a small bird. My question revolves around what kind of brine to use. I've been using Pop's Brine Cure for bacon and I noticed in the recipe that a mention that the brine can be used for chickens and turkey. Pop's brine uses cure #1 in it and most turkey brine recipes I've seen don't use cure, usually just a mixture of salt, sugar and some seasonings. Is there any particular advantage or benefit to using Pop's brine for a Thanksgiving turkey? Should I just stick with a regular brine?
