Two 14lb Turkeys

Recommended Posts

Yes! Had success cooking two 14lb birds in the KK this Christmas. 

 

Brine recipe - 85g Salt, 2/3 cu Sugar, 6 Whole Cloves, 1 tsp Juniper Berries (crushed), ½ tsp Black Peppercorns (crushed), 2 tsp Whole Allspice Berries (crushed), 5 Fresh Sage Leaves, 4 Spigs Fresh Tyme, 2 Bay Leaves. 

 

I wasn't sure if I should increase the cook time for 2 birds, but ended up close to a single. 

 

Heat soaked KK at 350. Applewood chips. Unstuffed birds took about 2 1/4 hrs to hit 155 in the breast. Pulled and loosely foiled, hit 165+ as it rested. 

 

Photo is about 45m into the cook.

@Gnomatic the foil pan was just a regular supermarket turkey pan. i flattened the sides to spread it out more - so it was just about 1" high by the time i was done but covered more surface area. good enough to catch lots of drippings for gravy :)

 

yes - lots of left overs. and the most delicious smoky stock/broth the day after. yum :)
