I used creole butter last time. I'm not a huge fan. The last two years I have used this... 3/4 cup vinaigrette dressing 1/3 cup dry sherry 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon cayenne I inject it, and then with the left over, i just pour into a baggy big enough to hold the turkey and let it rest over night. I guess in a sense its a "brine" but its not using a 5 gallon bucket and all this crazy shit I see guys doing. cook it to 165 degrees, and check in multiple places. Also let you guests know, that due to the smoking process, the meat may have a pink tint to it, BUT it is cooked through. let it rest 15-20 minutes and enjoy. I made the mistake awhile back of wrapping in foil and resting for a few hours, and my skin was no longer crispy. The meat was still good, but I like crisp skin.
