Since ive been cooking a smaller bird 12=14lbs a lesser amt was called for..i did increase the amt for more flavor(1/4 cup is fine) along with adding apple juice, simply add a large can of frozen apple juice to the mix..along with the liquid smoke you will have folks coming back for more..just a reminder to start cooking the bird breast down at least a hr then turn up..if you dont want to bother,the turkey god will still shine upon you bon appetite..

Adding Liquid smoke to Turkey by: Condo cook
I have added liquid smoke to my brine for several years now. I think its better if you add 1 1/2 tsp to 1Tbl to the brine..Even after brine is prepared you can adjust it by tasting the liquid after it cools.
Also there are more varieties of smoke flavors on the web.www.colgin.com is one.They offer apple,pecan flavors not available in the stores.
I agree its not the same as in a smoker or on the grill,but i get know complaints from our guest.

Liquid smoke in brine recipe followup by: Geoff C
Well, I added 1 1/2 teaspoons of liquid smoke to the brine and it came out ok, but not enough smoke flavour. Next time i will try 2 or 3 teaspoons. Turkey turned out real moist and did not last 2 days before devoured.

Flavoring Turkey Brine With Liquid Smoke by: SmokerBill
If you can't cook your turkey in the smoker, or grill-smoke it, using some liquid smoke in the turkey brine is the next best thing. It's not going to taste like a genuine smoked turkey, but it'll be good, just the same.
Use 1 1/2 teaspoons of liquid smoke per gallon of brine, and if that suits your taste, stay at that amount the next time you flavor a turkey with liquid smoke.
