I’ve been brining for years, and all turkeys have turned out great in the oven, but I wanted to have the oven free for everything else. This recipe was fantastic and actually easier than using the oven. I experimented with different pans and racks to make sure I knew what would fit with the plate setter. My 13 lb turkey fit into a smaller roasting pan and I was able to use a V rack. We got the Egg up to 500, but after opening it only returned to 450, so we started out there, then reduced to 350 after 30 minutes. Turkey was done in 2 hours and as moist as can be – beautiful! It rested for at least 30 minutes. Sorry I didn’t take a picture! Only thing I would do different would be to check temp even earlier.

His smoked turkey is always good but I was hoping to add a little more moister to the white meat with the brine and it worked. The turkey was a huge success and we didn’t wash off the brine.

Did notice in your version of the Good Eats turkey on the Egg, that you didn’t mention the brine should be rinsed from the turkey after brining. Alton did suggest that on his version, so it is probably important. I usually rinse anything I brine, or it turns out way too salty.

Thanks
