Traditional turkey

Trying a 12 lb butterball on the LBGE today. I wanted to try a comparison with an oven roasted thanksgiving bird, so I just brined it in apple juice and chicken broth, sprayed with Pam and a little Lawrys seasoned salt. Sticking with 325 dome for 4-6 hours. The next bird will be spatchcocked, mustard and rub.

    I can't wait until Thanksgiving to try a turkey.  My family only eats turkey on certain holidays so I don't get a chance to cook them often.  Let us know how it turns out and pictures would be great.

    @williamadamsesq I spatchcock turkeys a lot and never used mustard. In fact your the first I have seen it. Might be good, please tell. @BobsBGE try just turkey legs. Do this all the. Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.   

  • I should have used my maverick to monitor the temp more closely. Turned out pretty good, but probably left on about 45 min too long.

    I prefer just the breasts.  Took 'er off at 162, cooked at 350.

    The DudeThis is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head. Luckily I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, limber.
