How do you Cook your Thanksgiving Turkey?

[VolNExile]

Did ours for the first time in a simple dry brine for 36 hours, slathered in herb butter, and cooked at 350 convection, and it was done ridiculously early, less than two and a half hours (the convection, I assume), and it was juicy, including the breast meat.

Other than having to give up the fridge real estate during the brine stage, it was really simple.

Mom does the turkey in the oven. I’m there to eat the vegetables.

Get a food grade bucket from Lowe's or HD.

I voted smoker but I use it like a oven. 350 till done...breast to 170.
