I've playing around with my OBS for jerky and smoked salmon mostly, so I am going to buy one of those boneless Butterball turkeys today after reading through the posts. I noticed from the package and previous posts that they are pre-brined so I am curious do you eliminate salt from the rub if you use one? I dont have any CT, I have never seen it in stores in my neck of the woods. Another question is how long should the rub be on if I use one? I plan to follow others with cooking directions but should I FTC after its done. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks Steve-o
STC is the Turkey guru, but here's my $.02US
If it is "enhanced" I don't brine, but I don't change the rub either. I have not found the "enhanced" part to make it taste salty.
I don't FTC poultry, unless I need to to hold it until serving.
