Ran across this recipe, caught my eye, of course, because of its use of Jack Daniels...
Apple Jack Cannon Turkey Ingredients:
1 x 8 to 10lb turkey, thawed
1 C. kosher salt
10 C. cold water
5 C. apple juice
1 C. Jack Daniels
½ cup King of the Q Bonedust BBQ Seasoning
1 ¼ cups apple juice
¼ cup Jack Daniels
1 Turkey Cannon
1 thermometer
1 large bowl or sealable container
How to Prepare:
Remove and discard any giblets and neck from inside cavity of turkey, and any plastic used to hold turkey legs in place. Place the turkey into a large bowl or sealable container. Ensure that container will fit into your fridge!
Mix together salt, water, 5 C. apple juice, and 1 C. Jack Daniels, stirring until all the salt is dissolved. Pour mixture over the turkey. The turkey should be completely submerged. Add more salted water as needed to cover the turkey at a ratio of ¼ cup salt for every 4 C. of water. Cover brined turkey with a tight fitting lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Preheat grill to 350°F.
Remove turkey from the brine, discard brine, and pat turkey dry with paper towels. Season the turkey inside and out with King of the Q Bonedust BBQ Seasoning.
Mix together 1 ¼ cups apple juice and ¼ cup Jack Daniels. Pour mixture into the Turkey Cannon cylinder.
Place the turkey onto the filled Turkey Cannon cylinder breast side up. Place Turkey Cannon into the grill and close the lid. Check the turkey frequently throughout cooking to ensure there are no flare ups on your grill. If you experience flare ups, place a drip tray (foil pan or metal roasting pan) directly under the turkey to catch the dripping fat.
Roast turkey for approximately 1½ - 2 hours (7-10 minutes per pound), checking the internal temperature every 15 minutes or so after 1 hour of cooking time, until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches a minimum of 180°F. When taking the internal temperature, ensure that thermometer does not touch the metal Turkey Cannon.
Carefully remove the Turkey Cannon from the grill and allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the turkey, discard any remaining liquid in the Turkey Cannon, and carve. Serve immediately.
