Smoking Turkey Step by Step
There are many great ways to cook a turkey, but my favorite is smoking. The number one thing you are going to need is time. Smoking is a slower cooking process than roasting so make sure to read through the whole process before starting and do the math to get the timing right. Since this might be the only time you prepare a turkey, it is a good idea to have everything mapped out well in advance, but don't worry, the results will be worth it.

Brining Turkey Step by Step
Brining a turkey is a simple process, but you need to start a day before you plan to cook. A whole turkey can take up to 24 hours to properly brine depending on the size so plan ahead. Brining makes the most of a turkey. It adds moisture to the meat and makes it more tender. Throw in some herbs and spices and you get a lot more flavor as well. All you really need to brine a turkey is the bird and some salt and water. Step one is determining how much water you need.

Top 10 Turkey Rub Recipes
These are the best and most popular turkey rubs I have. Try one of these on your next turkey and remember to get the rub under the skin and inside the turkey. A good rub adds layers of flavor and these will help you make the most of your next turkey.

Rotisserie Turkey - Step by Step
Rotisserie turkey is the perfect way to cook that holiday meal. Self basted, moist, and tender this is the one of the best ways to cook a turkey, but before starting you have to determine whether the rotisserie kit for the grill can hold the turkey. Most rotisserie kits are designed to hold up to 15 pounds so a larger turkey will bend the rod and it won't turn properly. Check with the grill's manufacturer before considering this method.
