The brine and seasoning are inside the pellet bag! My buddy didn’t realize that and made his own. The Traeger combination was incredible. The hardest part is the overnight refrigeration. I ended up using a big cooler but didn’t love how much water I had to add to cover the turkey and dilute the brine. But after that I took my 20 lb turkey out, seasoned it and added the butter under the skin and then plopped it on a turkey throne with frozen orange juice concentrate and bourbon in it and followed the temperature guidance. It took about 4.5-5 hours for the turkey to cook. Rested for 30 minutes and it was by the the best turkey we’ve ever had. The leftovers were even juicy and flavorful.

I order this kit every year for my turkey, add some bourbon and orange liquor as to it always turns out great! Family members say my turkey is always moist, compared to their inlaws. I never use the rub however not enough in the packet and I have a variety of other rubs I use often. Lately been using alot of Meat Church rubs.

I was upset as it came with the bag for the brining in the past. This time it did not. The rub and pellets were fine..

Hello, and thanks for your feedback on the Turkey Brine and Rub Kit. When it comes time to brine the turkey, it is actually better to do it in a sturdy, sanitized brining vessel (breast side down), such as a cooler, bucket, etc. While it is possible to use some kind of brining bag, it would still be advisable to keep everything in a durable container to avoid leakage, so a bag may not even be needed.
