Gonna do a whole turkey (12lbs) for Thanksgiving...
Somewhere I recall reading that after you brine a whole turkey for 24 hours...it's good to let it sit uncovered in the fridge overnnite to let the skin dry out somewhat.
Then apply the mayo and rub before smokin.
Supposedly it will help the skin to come out crispy rather than soggy.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks..Ken
