SOUTHWESTERN TURKEY IN BRINE ( FUNKY BIRD)
This was a turkey recipe given by a friend who raved about it and it was the only turkey now cooked for their gatherings. It is from Emeril Lagasse. We have adopted it and is a must for Thanksgiving or is great any time of the year. Our son who doesn't like turkey loves this! It's flavor is fabulous

Steps:
- In a large non reactive container (we usually use a white trash bag--heavy duty or doubled sacked), combine lemon juice, orange juice, kosher salt, light brown sugar, yellow onions, oranges, jalapenos, cilantro, garlic, chili powder, ground cumin and oregano with 1 gallon water.
- Stir, squeeze, or shake up to dissolve brine the sugar & salt.
- Put the turkey under cold running water and rinse.
- Add the turkey to the brine, cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally, for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Essence:.
- Mix ingredients well and store in an airtight container or jar. Yields about 2/3 cup.
- Preheat oven to 375°FF.
- Remove the turkey from the brine and put it breast side up in a large heavy roasting pan and pat dry with paper towels.
- Rub the turkey with vegetable oil.
- Sprinkle all sides with 1- 3 tablespoons of Essence.
- Roast until deep golden brown and an instant thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F., about 1 hour and 45 minutes for breast, and a whole turkey takes about 20 minutes per pound.
- Transfer to a platter and let stand for about 15 minutes before carving.

WHOLE SMOKED TURKEY (TEXAS STYLE) (SOUTHWEST)
I always cook up two birds for Thanksgiving. One cooked in the oven (see my aluminum football recipe) and one either smoked or fried. This is my smoked recipe. It's not easy, but smoking turkeys is not for the faint of heart. Prep time does not include time spent in the brine. Unless you want turkey jerky, please don't attempt this recipe without brining the bird first--it will be very, very dry.

Steps:
- Combine first 12 ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Let cool.
- Rinse turkey, pat dry and brine over night, completely submerged in the brine.
- Rinse turkey and pat dry.
- Using a syringe, inject your favorite marinade. I use a store-bought Cajun sauce, made for injectors, but you could certainly make your own.
- Coat with oil, and season liberally with Cajun seasoning.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge overnight.
- Remove and bring to room temperature while you're getting the smoker ready, following the manufacture's directions. Bring smoker up to 240 degrees. I like pecan or hickory. You could use almost any hard wood, but I do not recommend mesquite. It's too oily, and will be bitter after that long of a cooking period.
- Smoke bird for 6-8 hours, keeping the temperature between 220--240 degrees, until internal temperature of the bird reaches 180 degrees.
- Mop, rotate, and turn bird every 40-50 minutes. Add pieces of wood to keep temp up and smoke going.
- For the mop: Combine cider vinegar, water, celery salt, salt, pepper, and butter in a pot and bring to a boil. Remove and set aside.
- Remove, wrap in foil and let rest for 30 min before carving.
