Brine For Sweet Smoked Turkey
by: SmokerBill

Hi Joseph,

To get sweetness inside the turkey you'll be smoking, you can brine it, using a turkey brine recipe that's heavy on the sweeteners. Possible sweet flavorings could be white or brown sugar, maple syrup, honey or fruit juices.

Any of these would go a long way in making your smoked turkey finish up with a sweeter flavor than normal.

Here's a recipe from my Turkey Brine Recipes page.

Apple and Spice Turkey Brine

This sweet brine gives the turkey a spiced apple flavor. Apple or cherry wood works well for smoke. Follow the link above to the turkey brine recipe page for detailed instructions on putting the brine together.

1 gallon water
3 quarts apple juice
3 quarts orange juice
1 1/2 cups kosher salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
10 whole cloves
1 tsp nutmeg
