Ingredients
- 1 – Turkey, 12-16 LBS
-
1 – Tipsy Tom Turkey Brine and Rub Kit
-
½ C – Bacon Fat, rendered
-
¾ C – Whiskey Barrel BBQ Sauce
Directions
- Brine the turkey according to the instructions on the package.
- Once brine is done, rinse the turkey and then pat it dry with paper towel.
- On the breasts, gently peel the skin away from the meat, taking care not to rip the skin off.
- Once there is room under the skin, pour in the Whiskey Barrel BBQ sauce under the skin and rub it into the meat.
- Combine the Cock-A-Doodle Brew rub included in the brine kit together with the bacon fat to make a paste.
- Rub the entire bird down with the mixture.
- Stuff with vegetables if desired.
- Truss the bird and place it in a roasting pan. Allow to rest at room temperature while your grill or smoker heats up to 325 degrees.
- Roast the turkey until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees near the joints.
- Rest 20 minutes before carving.
- Enjoy!
