Sounds similar to what we enjoyed at a big pot luck we just got back from. Yum. Add my killer salad and a few gluten free menu items and subtract the greens. And the turkey was smoked.

"Add my killer salad and a few gluten free menu items and subtract the greens. And the turkey was smoked."Gluten free feast today here, too. Smoked turkey, homemade cranberry sauce, baked butternut squash, steamed broccoli/cauliflower, with Greek yogurt with fresh berries, grated extra dark chocolate for dessert. Plus the usual glass of Cabernet. I can't believe I ate the whole thing...

Has anyone here ever brined a turkey? I would like to try it, but I have never spoken to anyone who has ever done it. The chefs all over FoodNetwork all swear by it, but I would like a real life opinion.

I brined mine for the first time this year. It was moist and delicious. I will brine every year now.

The Obamas dinner guests consist of a closely guarded list of family and friends, some going back to their days in Chicago.Sort of a "Family Meeting"

We brined one last year and it was tasty although it did make the drippings salty so you don't want to add any salt when you make the gravy.

I’ve been brining turkey for about ten years. I’ll never go back to roasting it the old fashioned way. It’s always moist and tender. The trick is to remember that a brined turkey will cook faster than a regular one.
I use a brine recipe on allrecipes dot com.

Never needed to brine. I buy a fresh turkey that has never been frozen. Moist and delicious every time. :)
To: USMCWife6869
Brine is basically salt and water with seasonings. Look on your turkey package and what does it list - water and salt. I’ve never brined a turkey and have never had a dry turkey. I’ve never added any extra seasonings because we want to taste turkey.
The last few years I’ve been cooking mine breast side down because it gives a much more moist breast. There are several downsides to cooking it this way because the breast skin doesn’t crisp up and he comes out of the oven ugly as sin and he’s difficult to turn back right side up unless you’ve got some serious arm muscle. However, if you’re into taste over presentation then that’s the way to go.
