    The last one I did in the electric smoker and it turned out great. Brine I used was apple juice, honey, brown sugar and pink salt. Left in brine over night, patted cajun dry rub on it and stuff with cored pineapple. Smoked at 275 for 5 - 6 hrs till the breast was 170. Let rest 30 minutes before carving.

    My brine has apple juice kosher salt cloves sage thyme peppercorns warm that to a boil then let it cool. I like to let it soak 36 hours as possible. I use a food grade plastic 5 gallon bucket with a lid. I stuff the turkey with dressing, have to have dressing.

    We normally make a oyster dressing when having a traditional turkey meal, but I haven't stuffed it in the turkey for years.

    Trying this tonight, I didn’t have any liquid smoke or curing salt so I substituted sea salt and Worcestershire sauce. Will see how it turns out. 8FC23112-447F-4F0F-8DC0-AB91F7DC94BF.png

    Didn’t turn out the greatest, I think not having the curing salt had something to do with it.
