Sweet Tea Smoked Turkey with Bird Brine (instant tea version)
Sweet tea has always been more than just a refreshing drink. In the South, it’s a tradition, a memory, and often the first thing poured when guests arrive. Bringing that flavor into barbecue feels both natural and celebratory. By combining Lipton Southern Sweet Tea instant mix with Revolution Barbecue Bird Brine, we’ve created a brine that balances sweet, savory, and herbal notes in a way that transforms turkey into something extraordinary.
This dish is built on contrasts: the light sweetness of tea against the savoriness of the brine, the deep smoke of hickory playing off the crisp skin, and the juiciness of brined meat that practically melts in your mouth. Every bite carries a subtle tea aroma alongside classic smoked turkey richness. For anyone who grew up with pitchers of iced sweet tea on the porch, this turkey carries that nostalgia into a centerpiece fit for holidays and family gatherings. It’s Southern hospitality, reinvented through smoke and brine, with a touch of Revolution ingenuity.
