45, good morning. DH started his brine last night and it's been cooling in the fridge. I think the birds go in later today & on the smoker tomorrow. I just eat the yummy food!

I fixed that auto correct twice! Brine still won't let me add a d. Try it, could be me!

13. Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Never done a full bird, just bone in turkey breast. Never tried brining before.

This is my first year honest to goodness making the turkey, but it's only a breast. Last year I cheated and made a brined, boneless breast from Trader Joe's. I did remember to defrost - hopefully that's the hardest part!

2 until Hawaii and 13 to Disneyland! I do a wet brine and use the pan drippings as part of the gravy. I found that a dry brine made the drippings too salty.

111! Have never brined. I buy a fresh organic turkey which is very expensive but very tasty just roasted with some poultry seasoning. Looking forward to DS26 and his GF coming in as well as my brother and his fam, my mom, and my MiL.

10, 74. Oldest DSis makes the turkey: not brined, but locally farm raised. Always good. I'll scavenge Costco on Friday morning and see if they have any unsold birds on quick clearance markdown, so we can cook it "for leftovers".

Oh, what a night, late December, back in '63.
What a very special time for me, as I remember, what a night.

4 days ! I've tried all the turkey hacks, wet/dry, smoked, fried all that matters is being with loved ones, and having gratitude for our blessings. Were leaving Friday morning:)

116 til BLT, good morning @Tac & Liner friends everywhere! We'll be at DSis in SC this year for delicious brined & baked turkey.

I decided on dry brine, I have a 21 lb full bird and 2 boneless breasts. DW likes crispy skin and supposedly a dry brine is best for that. We shall find out tomorrow.

Nephew and family just cancelled last minute! Hooray! Switching gears to oven roasted tenderloin! Kids so happy to not have turkey tomorrow, lol! It will be a first for me.

What works best to bribe a turkey? Plastic toy animals used to work when DS21 was little.
