marinading my 18# bird in apple cider...then roasting in the morning.....yum Pies all done..just waiting on apple crisp.
Ooooh - that sounds good! How long do you marinate it? Are there any other ingredients?
Cider is delish with turkey or goose.
One year I got this idea to marinate the turkey in cider THEN...Smoke it with cider in the water pan of the smoker.
The idea was that the cider would perfume the turkey and keep it moist as the hickory smoked it.
It was a good plan except cider reduces to a syrup after a while and when it burn off in the water pan the entire bird was ruined!
It would have worked if I had just kept the cider from becoming syrup.
Ruined the smoker too LoL
