I'm HORRIBLE at cooking a turkey. Something always goes wrong (last year the element in my oven burned up, go figure) and this year I'm determined to cook a fantastic turkey.
I am wondering if you can brine a Butterball turkey? I read that you shouldn't brine a self basting turkey and looking at the label, Butterball has done something to their turkeys.
I wouldn’t brine a Butterball, they already are brined.
My turkeys always turn out delicious, some years I deep fry ‘em, other years I oven bake, brining beforehand, then seasoning with a dry rub, then baking using Alton Brown’s recipe.
I always buy Shelton turkeys...they’re delicious, out of this world.
