The Best Holiday Turkey Brine<\/h1>\n

If you like your poultry tender and succulent, then you need to add this Turkey Brine to your things to do list this holiday season. \u00a0A good brine will add so much moisture and flavor to your roasted bird, you’ll never again cook it with out one. \u00a0This recipe adds a light yet fruity bouquet to the pallet that really compliments the Turkey. \u00a0There’s a few other ingredients that might surprise you but overall, I really think you’ll be pleased with the results.<\/p>\n

Does a Turkey Brine Really Help?<\/h2>\n

A Turkey Brine is more about the salt than anything. \u00a0All of the flavors help but the salt goes through and through, constantly repeating. \u00a0This helps the bird retain water and since water has memory, all of those ingredients that season the water also season the bird. \u00a0So, a brine absolutely makes all of the difference in the world. \u00a0Unless you don’t like a crispy skin, basting isn’t even necessary. \u00a0And don’t feel like you have to add all of these ingredients. \u00a0Technically, the salt is enough but feel free to play with it a bit and find your own ingredients and write your own recipe. \u00a0You can even refer to my Tin can Chicken Brine recipe if you’d like.<\/p>\n
