Gobble gobble!

Turkey time! We always brine our turkey and then smoke it on Thanksgiving. This year we had a helper making sure the brine was up to snuff :)

She didn't actually try it, just pretended. Our lil chef Z! We use Alton Brown's recipe for Roast Turkey but just smoke it instead of roasting. Love me some Alton recipes!! We brine it in one of those igloo coolers. The tall tube ones with the spout at the bottom. Just have to be careful not to get too big of a turkey so it fits in! One year we did two turkeys and used one of the regular igloo ice chest things.
