Finally found the low 3% basted turkey's I've been looking for to brine/cure for a couple of Thanksgiving events, they were only .99/lb so I picked up a couple of extras for the freezer so I can have turkey whenever I want it next year.

I have 2 of them in Smokehouse Rob's apple juice based brine with cure 1 as I type, in an hour they come out of their 14 hour bath for 8-12 hours of drying then into the smoker tomorrow.
That many birds thought you might be coming up with a turkey sausage
It would be cheaper than buying ground turkey for sure.
@ $0.99, that is a awesome price. SCORE
That's allot of birds and a great price

Here's the first two finished up, I'll carve them up and vac seal them tomorrow when they've chilled in the fridge overnight.

3 hours of pecan in the Bradley, moved to the SRG to finish when they got to 130 IT, They turned out real good. I got them sliced up and vac sealed for the trip to San Antonio tomorrow.
Walmart's turkeys are .89 per lb
Great looking birds! I can't believe the price you guys are paying, it's three times that price here.
Thanks Robert have a good turkey day

Hey new guy here, sorry to change subject but new at this forum stuff. Question though, can you flavor soak the biscuits for the electric auto feeders.

I wouldn't suggest it, they would probably crumble apart and you can buy just about any type of wood you want to flavor with.

Biscuits don't like moister at all. Even in very humid weather they will swell up and crumble. Keep them in dry environment.
Like Saber said, you can get them in just about any flavor you like. ;)
