This is the best turkey ever!!!

I’m not a chef, and I don’t write cookbooks.. but here are the instructions.



1 make sure turkey is thawed



2 soak turkey in brine for at least 6 hours.

To make brine put 1 cup of salt 1 cup of sugar smash up 2 small apples. A small handful of whole peppercorns. And whole beer and Add enough water to cover turkey into a big pot. Stir until salt and sugar dissolve The pot has to be big enough to hold turkey. Add enough water to cover turkey and soak for 6 hours. Put something on top of turkey to make sure turkey doesn’t float to top of water. Put in fridge.



3 make herb butter. One teaspoon of thyme,, one teaspoon of rosemary, one teaspoon of sage, one teaspoon of cayenne pepper one teaspoon of pepper one stick of butter. Put all ingredients in bowl and mix into butter. Let mixture soften before applying to turkey



4 take turkey out of brine. And try with paper towels. Try to get as dry as possible. Take butter and rub it all over turkey. Put it inside the cavity and under skin where possible. Make sure you really make love to the turkey with the butter. You will only use about half the butter.



5. cook turkey in bbq girl with indirect heat. In the middle of grill put a pan with about one inch of water. Put a meat thermometer in breast and when it reaches 165 it is done. It will take about an hour and a half. Go by the temperature on the thermometer but keep covered as much as possible. About half way though cooking, reapply butter on skin and inside cavity.



Once you take turkey out of bbq loosely cover with foil for about a half hour before carving.
