How you guise brine your turkeys?
Leftover pickle juice
no, 'cause they're almost always pre-brined when you buy them at the store.

Dry brine for three days. Rinse it day of baking and air dry. Season and bake. I don't stuff mine because it has to cook longer and can dry it out.
Bro tip: Go with a smaller bird and an extra breast to avoid serving dry meat.

I get a turkey that gets killed the day I pick it up from a farm and play around with the brine. gonna do some orange juice this year I think maybe I'll make a thread

Going to air dry it in the fridge Wednesday night
dry brine, then day of, mix garlic and herbs with butter and put it under the skin, or put bacon on top of the skin halfway through cooking or so

What's going to do butter and thyme but only underneath the skin on top of the breast
I don't because my family universally decided that none of us really like turkey about 5 years ago. So we just make a ham and a giant chicken instead.

Put in oven at 500 for 30 min then 250 20 min for each pound
I've never heard of a dry brine before. I do 60 grams of salt per liter of liquid that's been flavored with aromatics.
Is a dry brine superior or about the same? It certainly looks like less of a hassle.

It is somewhat of an oxymoron

Looking forward to it.
I don't get to cook the bird for thanksgiving yet. My mother still insists on doing it, but I have taken over several sides and I make fresh rolls every year. Looking forward to when she eventually let's me cook the bird.
Not murican but I last year I brined a turkey as per ATK's instructions and I didn't like the results at all. Bad taste, bad texture.

>Not murican but
really? how did it get to this?
Anyone tried letting the turkey dry uncovered for 24 hours after brineing for a crisper skin?

In the fridge if course
I collect my husband's semen every time he pulls out and freeze it. I defrost it and mix it with butter, salt, and pepper to make the brine.

pick up fresh turkey from the farmer, put it in a big ass cooler and set it out on the porch for the day. although wednesday is supposed to be in the 50s so that might not be so fun
