To Brine or Not to Brine a Turkey

Should I brine my turkey? With Thanksgiving coming up quick, you’re probably wondering - to brine or not to brine? In this video, we’re going to cook two 12 pound turkeys on the smoker side by side. We’re going to spatchcock them the same and season them the same… the one difference - One turkey will be brined overnight in a wet brine in the refrigerator, and the other turkey will not be brined.

Which turkey will turn out better? Does it matter if you brine your turkey? Can you really taste the difference? You’ll have to watch the video to find out!
