We just finished eating dinner. An early one to be sure. I couldn't wait any longer, I was afraid there would be nothing left. My younglad (code for carnivorous teenager) had cleaned up the legs and wings and if we didn't act quickly the whole bird was in peril.

Pretty good eats!!!

I did brine it in a 20 cup water, 1 cup Kosher salt, 1 cup brown sugar ratio.

I use the same brine for chickens and pork butts for pulled pork.

and yes!!! It is tasty!!!

I smoked my wild turkey yesterday. I brined it on Saturday, around noon. Brine was 2 gallons water, 2 cups each salt and sugar, and some pickling spices. Took it out of the brine Sunday at about noon, rinsed and put it on the charcoal smoker. Kept the temp between 200 and 220 for 6 hrs. Used mesquite chips for smoke during the first hour. Very moist and also very tasty. Best tasting bird so far.

I find brining really brings the best out of birds. Always nice an moist.

We carry a Maple sugar cure and a white sugar cure that is 100% right on for a great brine. Just add water.
