Add some candied ginger and a handful of allspice berries to that brine.
You’ll thank me.

We have smoked all of our turkeys for the last ten years. The left over meat tastes better longer that way. To me turkey tastes bad after just a couple of days.
I’ve been brining for several months now (pork chops, turkey breast & Cornish hens). I don’t use the quantity of salt and sugar this recipe calls for. I use 4 oz of salt and 2 oz of brown sugar.

“we’re having Ham.”
Who voted for ham? I voted for pizza!
Thanks for posting this. Recipes for the sides are also great.
I have wanted to do just one or two turkey breasts for years, to make less work, but my wife won’t hear of it. It’s Thanksgiving, we have to be traditional, stuff the bird and cook half a dozen sides, even if it’s just three of us. It would be easier to cook, easier to carve, and less leftovers. But no, I always lose…..
It still comes out good, but I want to enjoy the experience, not get stressed out by it.
A popular Christmas libation sans the calories. The only cals are in the rum...
figure one cal per each “proof” of alcohol. 100 proof rum is about 100 cals per shot.
