Seriously, though Alton Brown has a great turkey brine recipe on the Food Network website. I've used it for my last 2 Thanksgiving Turkey's. Last year's Christmas Turkey was a cajun deep fried. Even better and no brine.

Yeah, that's the way I like mine But I have another question. I've tried smoking wild turkey a couple of times. Only moderately successful, mostly too dry. I had never heard of brining before joining this forum. Has anyone ever tried brining a wild bird and does it help?
