Smoking was the only way I prepared a turkey - until I learned about
deep-frying! I've never gone back except one year when we had a large
group and I did one each way. The only left overs were from the
smoked turkey.
I've never deep fried a turkey. I started putting the turkey on a
rotisserie over charcoal. Wow. The
Weber will handle a 15lb'er pretty well. They come off much more moist
than in the smoker. Some
smoke flavor can be added by putting some aluminum foil wrapped chips
on top of the charcoal.

Try it and you'll never go back. A 12# turkey is done in less than an
hour and tastes great! It's not greasy at all. The hot oil seems to
seal it up quickly. I've never tried injecting mine like many do - they
tasted too good already.

I inject with a Balsamic Vinegar / Honey mix.. About half and half in
the injector needle under the skin and in the meat.

Brining works much better.


Gosh, what if you like taste of turkey when it tastes like...turkey?

A brined turkey tastes like turkey. Read up on it, it's a great way to
make a very moist bird.

I don't have the slightest problem roasting a turkey that comes out
tasty and moist. All I do to the bird is wash it, put salt, pepper and
paprika on the skin, and pop it into the oven. Sometimes I cook the
stuffing inside the bird, sometimes not. A good meat thermometer and a
clock are your friends. Though I have cooked a turkey on our grill, I
prefer the oven because it is so easy to control the temperature inside
after setting it once.

I'm not knocking how others cook their turkeys. I just don't see the
problem in roasting one properly so that it tastes delicious.
