If time runs out, make this attractive centerpiece w/
available items.....a glass bowl, apples and a candle.

Looks nice if the candle color coordinates w/ the apples.

The secret to the best turkey you will ever have is to soak it in a brine solution the night before you bake it, smoke it, or deep fry it.

One simple recipe you can use is:

1 1/2 cups of Molasses

24 oz. of Sea or Kosher salt

8-12 oz. of honey

Mixed into a Gallon of water.

Pore into a cooler and stick the turkey in it you want the mixture to cover the whole bird, add Ice it keep it cold over night. When you bake, smoke or deep fry pull it out of the solution drain but do not rinse or season. The brine has done it for you and it will NOT be TOO salty.

When you bake or smoke it get a temperature probe and stick in the thickest part of the breast not touching the bone.

cook till the temperature hits 165 degrees. Anything higher will OVER cook it, and don't worry about the plastic "timer" button not popping out. When they do it's over cooked!

When you slice the breast it will be the Juiciest,BEST tasting turkey you will ever eat!
