Brined a 12 lb turkey overnight in a maple syrup brine. Rubbed with maple syrup and Meatchurch Deez Nuts rub. Cooked at 250F for about 6 hours. Came out great.

Could you still taste the syrup when you ate it? Interesting.

@Terrebandit I really didn't taste the maple syrup per se, but the turkey did kind of taste like ham. Not sure if that was the maple syrup or the brine or both that made it taste like ham.

Dayum man that looks awesome. One of the tastiest looking birds I have seen.

Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

By the way, I forgot to say that I basted every hour after the 3rd hour with a mixture of maple syrup mixed with MeatChurch rub.
