Steps:
- Add 2 gallons water, the fine salt, molasses, sugar, Worcestershire, garlic, bay leaves and 1 tablespoon pepper to a large pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir to dissolve the salt and sugar, and then remove from the heat. Cool the brine completely.
- Pour the brine into a large bucket and add the turkey, making sure it is completely submerged. Brine for 12 to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
- Pour the bourbon and 4 cups water over the wood chips and soak overnight.
- The next day, remove the turkey from the brine and pat dry with paper towels.
- Rub the turkey with the oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Load an electric smoker with the soaked wood chips and place the turkey inside. Set the smoker to 225 degrees F and smoke until the internal temperature is 160 to 165 degrees F, 5 to 6 hours.
- Rest the turkey for 20 minutes before carving.
SMOKED TURKEY
My cousin, Mike Koury, taught me how to smoke turkey about 25 years ago, and I have been doing it ever since. This tastes great! The smell while smoking is guaranteed to drive your neighbors crazy!

Steps:
- This recipe requires a water-smoker such as the Brinkmann"Smoke'n Pit" or the"Cook'N Ca'jun" (http://thebrinkmanncorp. com).
- If you don't own one, buy one.
- They are great.
- The night before the big meal, wash the thawed turkey thoroughly, inside and out, and pat dry.
- Save the neck and innards for making gravy, if desired.
- Season inside and out with lemon-herb seasoning, granulated garlic, and salt and pepper to taste, and coat with olive oil.
- Do not stuff the turkey.
- If you want stuffing, use your favorite recipe, and cook it in the oven, out of the bird.
- Refrigerate until ready to start smoking.
- Soak 5-6 fairly large chunks of hardwood in water for as long as possible.
- DO NOT USE CHIPS!
- Set your alarm clock for for about 12 hours before dinner.
- Prepare the smoker as follows.
- Place 10 pounds charcoal in the fire-pan.
- Light the charcoal just barely, but make sure it is enough to keep burning.
- (Use an electric starter, or a butane torch, or place charcoal under your oven broiler just until lit. DO NOT use liquid charcoal lighter unless you want kerosene flavored turkey!) Place 2-3 chunks of wet hardwood on top of the charcoal, place water-pan above fire-pan, and fill with water.
- Place turkey on the rack above water-pan, cover smoker, and go back to bed.
- After about 6 hours, check the smoker.
- Stir up the charcoal and add a little more if necessary.
- Place remaining soaked hardwood chunks on top of charcoal, add more water if necessary, close the smoker, and relax for another 5-6 hours.
- It is almost impossible to overcook the turkey using this method, because it is cooking at a very low temperature.
- It will be juicy and tasty.
- Obviously the smoking should be done outside.
- Smoking indoors can be hazardous to your health.
- If the weather is freezing or below, add about 2-3 hours to the cooking time.
- The turkey is done when the leg can be moved easily.
- Carve immediately before serving.
- Notes: I usually use hickory wood, though pecan or oak are also great.
- You can add aromatic herbs or spices to the water pan if desired, but they will mostly be covered by the smoky taste.
- You can also add beer or wine to the water pan, but again, it is mostly covered by the smoke.
