Turkey #1
Tulsa Jeff’s Cranberry-Pomegranate brine substitute molasses for white sugar
After 48 hours in the brine I took the turkey out, washed off, quartered an apple and an onion and stuffed them in the cavity along with two stalks of celery and trussed the turkey up, smeared it with butter, and rubbed it with Smokin’ Okie’s Turkey (Poultry) Rub.
Turkey #2
Smokin’ Okie’s Holiday Turkey Brine: substitute apple juice for water and molasses for white sugar
After 24 hours in the brine I took the turkey out, washed off, quartered an apple and an onion and stuffed them in the cavity along with two stalks of celery and trussed the turkey up, smeared it with butter, and rubbed it with Jeff’s Naked Rib Rub.
Both turned out quite well!
