Adam,

 

Last year I found a recipe on-line somewhere which included brineing it and adding sage, rosemary and tyme to the brine. I brined it too long maybe 12 hours or so and it was a bit salty.

But it tasted better than any turkey I have ever cooked and was super tender. I cooked it in an oven bag.

 

Hey buddy,

 

How long did you cook your Turkey in the oven bag?

 

 

I don't remember but probably about 2 1/2 hours. Stuff cooks faster in those bags, just remember to flour the inside of the bag and cut some slits in it and use an instant read thermometer if you don't have a regular one to put into the inner thigh. If you stuff it that will increase the cooking time and make sure it is cooked all the way.

Still working on getting our first wild turkey, but when I do I plan to use my tradition thanksgiving method. Brine for 2 days, stuff with apples, onions, butter, and seasonings, and then smoke it over pecan wood for about 10 hours. This makes my store birds taste fantastic and fall apart tender. Hopefully I'll soon get a chance to try it on a wild bird.
