Equipment

  • 1 Big Green Egg

Ingredients

  • 11 pound turkey thawed
  • 1 container Lane's Ultimate Turkey Brine Kit
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 stick Butter

Instructions

  • Mix 1 cup of brine with 1 gallon of water in the brining bag.
  • Add the 11-pound turkey and place the bag in a food safe container.
  • Place the container with the bad containing the brined turkey into the fridge for 24-hours
  • Remove the bird from the brine and place it on a wire rack in the fridge overnight to dry out the skin.
  • The next day, take the turkey out of the fridge and place it on the counter. Use the olive oil as a binder then generously season with the Lane's SPG and Spellbound rubs.
  • Setup your Big Green Egg for indirect cooking and preheat to 350°F using apple wood chunks for smoke flavor (optional).
  • Let the bird cook for 1-hour uninterrupted. Then melt 1-stick of butter and baste the turkey at the 1-hour mark to help crisp and brown the skin.
  • When the bird measures 165°F in the breast, remove and rest 20 minutes before slicing. This cook took me 2.5 hours to get to 165°F.
