And what a glorious Thanksgiving it was. Perfect weather, great company and excellent food. Hope you all experienced the same. If you ever want a fantastic turkey recipe, ask me about the Bourbon-Maple Syrup Brined Turkeys that I grilled/smoked.

How did that compare with the Bacon Explosion?

The Bacon Explosion was more visually attractive/interesting, but the turkey (made with Wild Turkey) was, in the words of several of our guests, the best turkey they've ever eaten. My Father-In-Law said there is no reason to try any other recipe ever again. The recipe calls for a wood pellet grill, but I would bet very similar results could be had in the oven.

Jsb...I have a frozen turkey on deck for Christmas. Please send this recipe over. I plan to smoke it on my smoker.

It is the Traeger Grill recipe at Maple & Bourbon Brined Turkey - Traeger Grill Recipes

I modified it a bit using double of everything as I was doing 2 birds in series. I quadrupled the Wild Turkey, by putting a liberal 1.5 cups in the brine and another cup and a half on the rocks for my Father-In-Law and me. :wink:
