Looks INCREDIBLE. I would eat that once a month! Probably deep fry one now and then too.
I have a few recipes I'm chasing myself and hope you one day nail it! If you want any advice from what I've learned so far, the old timer recipes use less of the number of ingredients but MUCH more of those few ingredients. Also, preparing the injection by weight a la Omak/Marianski will be far more accurate and give you consistent results. IE 24oz for 20lb bird is about 3/4 the amount of liquid I would inject in mine (10% or 32oz).
Thanks, and a 20 lb turkey is a months worth of food....LOL I am an old country boy, don't measure too much. Never tried his injection encased without a basic brine like that. Had I doubled the amount of modifiers or lessened the brine juices it would have been much better. But that's what tune ups or experiments are for.
Nice cook ! Fantastic color as usual .
Thank you my friend, I appreciate the compliment.
Great looking turkey! Mine is in the smoker tomorrow.
I am sure you are gonna kill it! Just make sure you get a good pellicle and everything else is just patience or a galvanized bucket of chopped ice for cold longnecks (they are the same thing right?)
