I tried it for the first time this year.
Overcooked it.
Good thing my wife had a backup in the oven ;-)


How many pounds, how many minutes, at what temperature?

I brined for the first time last year. The trick is to soak it just long =

enough. Too long and it becomes too salty. The upside of brining is that =

the salt holds the water yielding very moist meat. Cook until the=20
internal breast temperature is 165 and you are done.
Using an oven, cook at 325?F. It takes awhile, but that's how I do it.

Google for brineing your turkey. The long and short is, take your turk=

the night before, put it in a trash bag with water, salt and brown suga=

overnight, and seal it. In the morning, wash it off, and cook it in a =

cooker. (Smoker) This was an evening meal, so you might have to start
earlier, for noon meal. This was the most juicy turkey I have ever had=
