Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 ea Turkey, 8-10 lbs
1/2 c Salt
1/2 c Sugar
1 qt Apple juice
1 tb Rosemary
1 tb Basil
1 ea Honey, for basting

Place turkey in brine for 8-12 hours. Remove from
brine. Rinse well and air dry. Place turkey in the
smoker with both upper and lower cavities open to
expose the insides to smoke. Smoke 3-3 1/2 hours or
longer being careful not to dry bird out.

Remove turkey from the smoker and cook in your
favorite way. If you desire more smoke flavor, simply
increase smoking time and the amount of fuel used.
Reduce your cooking time by 10% for each hour in the
smoker (up to 40%).

If you are using a smoker/barbeque/roaster type of
barbeque, switch modes to roast mode and baste the
turkey with honey during the roasting time.
