Ive threaded these before, but thought I'd share this again because ive done this a few time since and have yet to have a bad experience
I love doing turkey thighs because they usually come out very juicy and flavorful, not to mention a more healthy alternative to many of the delicious posts.
..oh ya! And CHEAP!! 6 bucks for two large thights that feeds my family of 4!
Ok ill get to it here
Brine
16 cups of water
1/2 cup of kosher salt
1/2 cup of brown sugar
^^^^that's the base, anything else is whatever I come across in my fridge/pantry/spice drawer that sounds good. Here's what I did
6 garlic cloves smashed with the flat part of my knife
Big pinch of minced onion
Half a lemon chopped
a few springs of rosemary
Stirred till soup
I put the lid on it and set it in the garage. Its fairly cold out there but wont freeze. In the summer I'll toss an ice pack in it
That's all I have so far. Tomorrow ill smoke them
I have a basic rub that I make, any suggestions for a turkey rub will be highly considered. Feel free to post yours!
