This one is a winner folks. Your crew will be oohhhing and ahhhhing over this turkey. If they like ham that is....
Smokey Turkey Brine (from my mom's kitchen)
3 quarts water
3 cups sugar
2 cups Tender Quick (a Morton's product)
12 bay leaves
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
Enough for a 10 to 16 pound turkey. Mix all ingredients and pour over a turkey in a large container and place in the refrigerator for 48 hours. If you do not have room in your fridge, place the turkey and brine in an appropriately sized cooler and place in the garage. Fill gallon sized plastic storage bags with ice cubes and place on top of the turkey. Replace ice as needed. You'll probably need to flip your turkey if it is not submerged completely in either method.

I'm glad to see this as I've wanted to try it ever since we tasted some of yours. Have a turkey breast in freezer, so will fix sometime after Glenn gets back home.
Thanks!
