I didn't put anything in the cavity but S&P and a 1/2 bottle of chardonnay. Could be the reduced mass / empty cavity cooks faster then the 15 minutes/lb. Temp was 325 the entire time ... most consistent cook I've done. [p]I also did the Good Eats Honey Brine ... Turkey was very well recieved.[p]The skin was too briny (don't know if that was a word) to eat. I disapointed some skin eaters .. but the turkey was moist and yummy.[p]Time to sit on the couch, rub my belly, drink some more vino and watch football. mmmmmmmm turkey ... getting sleepy.[p]Happy Thanksgiving to all the Eggers

    Smoked Signals,[p]I don't know why, but even though the thigh/breast temps end up perfect and the turkey is delish, I always end up with this large puddle of reddish juice in the cavity. It kind of gets to me because it is so raw looking. I just pour it all out, but I'm not crazy about it.[p]Either way I'm stuffed even if the turkey wasn't. Although I have to admit those pork tenderloins of Lawn's look awfully good. Think he'll share the recipe or is it here somewhere???[p]mShark
