I'll tell you one thing. Turkey is amazing anyway you cook it, but my dad and I deep fried it one year, and it was super delicious. Extremely juicy. Nearly burnt the house down though. Good times.
Btw Alton brown has some amazing easy Thanksgiving recipes on his YouTube channel.

Brined for a day. Then roasted breast side down for first 75% of the time and finished at a slightly higher heat breast side up until perfectly done.

One thing that you have to remember about deep frying a turkey is that they can explode. Smoked turkey sounds really good. Yeah I love Alton

I've heard deep fried turkey is amazing, but I've never had the chance to try it.

Do you put tinfoil on the breast when you flip it the last 25%? I heard it keeps it juicy and cooks it slower to even it out.

It is VERY good. But also can be dangerous for people who don't know how to do it.

I love the wine in the pan as well... white, I'm assuming? I'm really liking the sound of that.
A few years ago I started adding a little Amaretto to my ham glaze, and it adds the most wonderful essence to the glaze. You wouldn't know by tasting it there's even Amaretto in it, but the flavor it adds is undeniable. I'm thinking the same thing might happen with the wine.

Brined for a day and a half and going on the smoker, last year I did it with mesquite and it was pretty good, this year I am using a sweeter brine with brown sugar and going to use hickory. I'll do it around 250deg for about an hour and a half then reduce the heat to about 150-175ish till my meat thermometer tells me the internal temp is good to go. The brisket I will be doing on the other smoker grill, well that's a secret.

My brother and law is a fire captain a couple towns over and they put out about 8-10 fires a year from deep fried turkey mishaps. Mostly dimwits tossing the frozen bird into a bucket of hot fat in their garage or portico.
