I won't EVEN comment on the oyster recipe
Here is one that actually works:
In a five gallon bucket lined with a garbage bag put:
1.5 to 2 cups Sea Salt
a lot of coarsely chopped garlic
10 or 15 crushed juniper berries
1 Tablespoon allspice
Cayenne pepper or new mexican chipotle powder
1 gallon water
1 fresh turkey - preferably organic
top off the turkey with water to completely cover the bird
tie off the bag and put a bag of ice on top to keep it cold.
leave it alone for 24 hours
light your kettle grill and get a good bed of coals going.
Bbq your oysters using the special sauce: (

then pull the coals to the edges of the kettle and add some more charcoal (prefferably mesquite).
Put a bunch of quartered oranges inside the drained turkey's cavity and put the bird in a foil tray.
Place the tray on the grill, put the lid on the kettle, and keep the fire going at about 375 degrees until the interior of the breast meat reaches 150 degrees. Remove the bird from the grill, cover it with some foil, and wait at least 10 minutes before carving.
That's it.... Someone else can bring the green bean casserole and jello
Now get to work, It's good for Christmas too.
Don't forget to make soup with the leftovers.
