Cooked a turkeyin the treager today. Been brining since Friday afternoon. Water salt brown sugar was base. Then just added Italian seasoning, garlic and a can of frozen orange concentrate.

 looks and sounds really good

I've had smoked / brined turkey (and goose) a dozen different ways and it always ends up tasting pretty much like what we know to be common ham.

Does the Italian seasoning help distinguish the flavor away from the norm at all?

I would truly like to find a change up.

looks good man...not trying to jack your thread but i'm gonna post another smoking option for turkeys per onmygame's request...

 Thanks guys.
Not sure why you would get a ham taste. I still got the turkey flavor with a hint of smoke  I figured it would have a stonger hint of orange. Not so much still very tasty

I dropped a whole stick of butter into the cavity while smoking.  I like butter.  Looks great.  I have been a long time turkey fryer, but the Traeger has converted me.
