HONEY BRINED SMOKED TURKEY image

Categories     turkey     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 gallon hot water
1 pound kosher salt
2 quarts vegetable broth
1 pound honey
1 (7-pound) bag of ice
1 (15 to 20-pound) turkey, with giblets removed
Vegetable oil, for rubbing turkey
Hickory wood chips

Steps:

  • Combine the hot water and the salt in a 54-quart cooler. Stir until the salt dissolves. Stir in the vegetable broth and the honey. Add the ice and stir. Place the turkey in the brine, breast side up, and cover with cooler lid.. Brine overnight, up to 12 hours. Remove the turkey from the brine and dry thoroughly. Rub the bird thoroughly with the vegetable oil. Set the smoker to 300 degrees F and smoke with hickory wood chips until the Turkey reaches 160 degrees F. Insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the breast meat. Due to the smoking process, the Turkey will be darker than you may be used to. Don't worry, this is normal. Once the bird reaches 160 degrees F, remove from grill, cover with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 1 hour. Carve and serve.

This turkey was a little dry for my taste. I think I overcooked it. But the flavor was still good. I would recommend cooking the turkey for a shorter amount of time.
