I love smoking my holiday meals! I made this on my Pit Boss Pro 1100.  NowI picked mine up Lowes, but Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or Pit Boss website themselves.

How To Make Smoked Coca Cola Turkey Brine:

 

Safely thaw your turkey and remove the innards. 

 

If you chose to rinse off your turkey pat dry before injecting. 

 

Your smoking tools are just as crucial as a good smoker, I have gone thru several plastic injectors over the years! Now when we made the Beef Brisket With A Whiskey Injection we broke another! This time around the old lady had enough and order a Metal Injector off Amazon! This is the second time I have used this and love it!

I loved the different sizes of the attachments, the finer point is going to be amazing on some smoked cornish game hens!! The extra gaskets are going to make the injector last even longer since upkeep will be easier. This time I used the big tip for the metal injector, I knew the turkey skin would be tougher.  Plus larger areas of meat to inject as well.

Now I measured out a cup of Jack Daniels into a glass to pull from, you can also pour yourself a shot too! But this way I wasn’t dipping the injector back in my bottle of Jack Daniels.

Place your turkey in a cooler or container and start to inject with the Jack Daniels injection. 

 

How To Make Smoked Coca Cola Turkey Brine:

 

In a bowl start to mix together the Coca-Cola brine ingredients, I started with two cans of Coca-Cola and add in the seasonings.

 

Pour the Coca-Cola mixture in the bowl into the cooler over the Jack Daniels injected cooler.

After adding the first Coca-Cola mixture, pour more Coca-Cola into the cooler and ice until your turkey is submerged.  If you don’t submerge the turkey fully you will need to flip the turkey often as well.

Make sure while your turkey is brining to store it in the fridge or in ice water.  You don’t want the temperature to rise and grow bacteria. 

 

The day you are ready to smoke your turkey remove your turkey from the brine, I set mine in a pan to allow it to dry off a bit while I prepare the rest.

How To Make Butter injection for Coca Cola Turkey:

 

In a bowl melt 1 stick of butter and your minced garlic together for the butter injection.

I used the large injector as well again, the minced garlic did clog some but it was workable through the injector into the turkey. 

 

How To Smoke A Coca Cola Brine Turkey:

 

 

After you are done injecting the butter sprinkle your turkey with seasoning.  For this turkey, I used a bit of Montreal Steak Seasoning, Johnny’s Original Seasoning Salt, and Lawrys Garlic Salt.   You can use whatever seasoning blend you want.

Next, I placed a stick of butter in the turkey cavity, this will help to keep the inside moist and flavor the turkey more as well.  

 

Start your smoker up, I used Mesquite Pellets with Pitboss Fruit Blend Pellets in my hopper.

Set your smoker at 255 and allow the turkey to slowly cook.  I cooked mine at 225 for about 5 hours and then turned it up to 250 for another hour.
