Did a turkey breast on the Traeger along with some cornish hens. I did the kosher salt brine for 24hrs and let the breast smoke for 3hrs before cranking it to 350. Put the hens in an hour half or so before the breast was done. Turned out pretty good!

Is the conclusion here, “You can’t screw up a turkey”?

He stuffed his turkey with a cornish hen. (haven't heard yet how it turned out.)

Took the kids over to see their grandmother at the retirement community. Usual holiday buffet spread: Turkey, ham, stuffing, gravy, potatoes, yams, green bean casserole, colossal prawns, smoked salmon, and lox. Pies, cakes, bunch of other stuff but I mainly feasted on the lox and prawns. Top notch, better than anything I can find around here. They have an award winning chef there, food is always very good. They'll prepare whatever you want if you give them some notice.

I brined my Turkey for the first time this year. 24 soak in brine (water, salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, bay leaves, apple cider, crushed garlic cloves, blended Canadian Whiskey, quartered applies and oranges) then rinsed, dried and sat in fridge overnight, then spatchcocked. I also made up some herb butter and smeared it all over the breast, under the skin, and then smoked in the Traeger until perfect. I had never smoked a turkey or brined one first. I had to practice with whole chickens using same brine and smoke about a week previous... :-) my practice birds:

I inject my turkey. This year it had 3 cups cider, 3 navel oranges squeezed for juice, 1 cup soy and 1 cup teriyaki. Added some nutmeg, cinnamon, paprika, garlic and pepper. Slide garlic cloves under the skin and put the orange halves and quarter Apple in the cavity. Cooked in the oven at 325.
