Smoked turkey

Jen asked for the recipe so I thought I would just post it. 2 times I made this I used a big turkey the once I didn't I just halved the recipe.

It's just 2 cups tender quick salt
1 cup salt
1 bottle (4oz.) liquid smoke
Thanksgiving turkey about 20lbs.

I used a 5 gallon bucket to soak my turkey. Make sure before you start that your bird will fit in the bucket or pot you choose.
Dissolve the salts and liquid smoke into the bucket with warm water, just enough to dissolve it. Add your turkey to bucket and finish filling with cool water. Your bird must be completely under water.
Let soak for 24 hours. Rinse very well before cooking. Cook as package says

A few tips:

Don't stuff your bird
You can make gravy but it will be a bit salty the better you rinse the less salty it will be
Your bird should not be frozen when you start but I did do it when it was border line and it still worked great.
Put the lid on the bucket or pot and if you can put a plate on the turkey it helps keep it under the water.
Keep your bucket in the garage if you don't have one I would put it outside with a blanket on it.
If you make this in warm weather then keep it in side not in the hot garage. I would let the bird be a little frozen if you do it in warm weather.
