I brine. Search for apple cider brine.
The recipe I use is about 8-10 ingredients.
Brine overnight. Cook at 225 till done with meat thermometer.
Tips....apple wood is great! but I'm sure all fruit wood works. Personally I mix apple wood and hickory. I pound the bird with tons of smoke for the first couple hours then back off the smoke and use mostly charcoal (REAL WOOD Charcoal).
Normally I place alum foil on the turkey when it starts to get brown. This hasn't really helped me though. This year I'm going to place alum foil on turkey to start then take it off for the last hour or two to help brown it.
