I've been wanting to try this for a few years now. The only reason I haven't is that I always buy my turkeys frozen and have been worried about the 8% solution it says they are injected with......worried about the turkey ending up too salty but now after looking at the recipe for what seems like the hundredth time....I realize it actually calls for a 14-16 pound frozen young turkey.
Anyway...so two questions:
1. Has anyone used this recipe with a butterball or any other frozen turkey that is has an injected solution?
2. His recipe cooks to 161 internal breast temp in 2-2 1/2 hours. I understand I will be cooking to an internal temperature of 161 but my turkey is 22 pounds....how can I judge how long this will take with his cooking method? Anyone use this method with a larger bird?
Thanks for any information/experience or thoughts.
