Brine

Who Hausa a good one doing a turkey for thanksgiving...

Oops I forgot Ihad already ales this...

Ratio is 1 gal water to 1 cup salt and 1 cup sugar.

This.

The above is good. I like to put other stuff in it also, may as well put some flavor you like in it while getting moisture into it. Throw some of whatever you season it with in there as well.

I do a pork brine that adds Star anise. Turns a pork quarter into deliciousness

I use brown sugar or raw sugar rather than white.
Helps add a little color when cooking, and a bit different flavor.

Add liquid Zatarain's crab boil to the brine. That's just gotta be good.

Now that thought crossed my mind, wonder if that cajun spice will be too strong or guess,
should cookout! Gonna do a turkey on a ugly drum smoker this year, looks too simple,
gonna giveit a try. Easy to do, just have maintain a low fire or smoke.... have plenty of
mesquite and oak, over charcoal!....
