• 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, use a metal injector with a large opening and needle point.
• Measured out a cup of Jack Daniels into a glass to pull from. This way I wasn't dipping the injector back in the bottle of Jack Daniels.
• Place your turkey in a cooler or container and start to inject.
• Fill your cooler with the rest of the brine ingredients and submerge your turkey.
• 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 DANIELS 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 JACK DANIELS BRINE TURKEY:

• After you are done injecting the butter sprinkle your turkey with seasoning.  For this I used a bit of Montreal Steak Seasoning, Johnny's Original Seasoning Salt, and Lawrys Garlic Salt.
• 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.
• Remove and serve!
