  • Stir to the boil, and then simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Turn down the heat and add the sugar, Satsuma juice, salt, honey and dissolve, probably take 15 minutes, and then cool.
  • When cool, place the turkey into the brine with the Satsumas.
  • Place a large plate on top, weighted down to keep the bird in the brine.
  • Chill well for 12 hours, at the most 24.
  • When ready to cook, set the bbq to indirect heat, 150C 300F, then place the bird on a tray at the other end, away from the heat, cover, and cook for 4-5 hours, basting occasionally.
  • You must keep the heat constant, 150C 300F opening the lid only when you need to.
  • You will end up with a beautifully moist, cooked, delicious turkey.
