Rascal,
This was the first time I brined a whole turkey (I've injected in the past)but I always brine turkey breasts, chicken and pork (except ribs) and have never had bad results. For this turkey I used a brine recipe form the Cookshack forum...

Smokin’ Okie’s Holiday Turkey Brine:
1 gal. water
1 c. coarse kosher salt
¾ c. soy sauce
½ c. white sugar
½ c. brown sugar
½ c. honey
½ c. apple cider vinegar
4 Tbsp. black pepper
3 - 4 Tbsp. chopped garlic
1 tsp. Allspice

I saw some posts from people saying that their brined birds tasted hammy. I am curious about this. If you had a hammy bird can you please post the brine recipe, the size of the bird, how long it was brined and what kind of bird (e.g., was it a "natural" bird or was it self bating, etc.)?
