Wanted to try a turkey on the PBC before the actual main event and it was a complete success. Picked up a frozen 15 pounder on Thursday and on Friday I thawed it out from 6 PM to 2 AM in a cooler filled with water, changing the water every 30 minutes. I had lots of beer on hand for this endeavor! After thawing it out I removed it from the bag, wiped it down and sprinkled some salt over the skin and let it sit uncovered in the fridge until Saturday afternoon. I then made a wet rub (mixture of olive oil and Simon and Garfunkel rub) and rubbed it under and over the skin completely covering the bird and let it sit in the fridge until Sunday. Hung it around noon and pulled it around 3. The results were amazing, can't wait to blow everyone away on Thanksgiving with my PBC turkey.
Right after hanging.
The finished product.
