Ok I am sorry . Do you know if my post reposted properly . I am new to this . <| sep |> Ok , that ' s good . My point is that you can ' t have this limbo policy where you got state intervention when cutting jobs like this and then laissez faire policy for them when they get unemployed . Pick either one , it ' s unfair for the ones losing their jobs . <| sep |> If you ' re stranded on an island , I don ' t think doing your taxes would be a priority though . <| sep |> 21 . 46 lbs 9 . 73 kilos Butterball . Dry brined under and over the skin for 16 ish hours with thyme , rosemary , sage , salt , and pepper . Also pushed butter under the skin as well to self baste , then right before cooking was basted with melted butter over the skin . Bird was spatchcocked right before basting and going in . Smoked for 4 . 5 hours over peach wood in my ALDI special with a water pan at about 225250 . Pulled when the breast hit 160 F . Moistest , most flavorful turkey I or my guests had ever had in our lives , and that skin was so delicious I couldn ' t stop snacking on it .
