Let's have those Thanksgiving turkey recipes!
I know we have a month until Thanksgiving here in the US, but I am making plans. I was curious what your recipes are for turkey on the smoker. Do you marinade, inject, use a rub or brine your turkey?
I did an orange bourbon marinade last year (it was orange juice, bourbon, molasses, 2 each quartered lemons and oranges marinaded it for 3 days in the fridge) but the whole family said it was too sweet for them. And I used mesquite pellets (it's what I had on hand) which gave it a weird flavor combined with the sweetness of the juice. This year I will use a much lighter pellet, apple I think.
What do you do for your turkey? Looking for recipes or suggestions.
