Weds is turkey day!

[Spanky]

I have my nephew comming to town to spend thanksgiving with us at relatives. I decided to do our imediate family thanksgiving dinner tonight.

I brined my 12.6 lb bird last night, washed and dried it off this morning at 6 am, and into the fridge to rest till 11:30. This pic is the bird all seasoned, stuffed with onions, apples and apple sauce(loosely), tied up a little and rubbed and seasoned, ready to go into the pit.

Turned out nice and moist with just a hint of smoke, gravy was awesome too.

Thanks for checkin the bird out!;)
