Recap of last week’s thread

Turkey Brine:
1 12-15lb Fresh Turkey
6 Pack of Guinness Extra Stout
1 Cup of Brown Sugar
1 Cup of Salt
2 Lemons Quartered
2 Oranges Quartered
6 Thyme Twigs
4 Rosemary Twigs
8 Cups of Water
Mix it all together in a round cooler , stirring until the Sugar and Salt are dissolved. Rinse off the Turkey, and put it in the cooler. Add more water as needed until the Turkey is completely submerged. Store in a cold place over night. (I simply sat mine outside) Occasionally shake around the cooler a little while the turkey soaks to keep the brine mixed well.
Remove the Turkey the following day, and rinse it off. Cook the Turkey as you normally would.
We had Christmas Eve dinner at the Chinee Place LoL
Agreed, Yorkshire pudding is the greatest invention!
