How to Brine a Turkey

[bparker65]

Will the turkey get too soggy if left in there too long?

@bparker65 I really don't know. I assume if you leave it in the brine for a week it might get soggy. But 24 hours is perfect. Thanks for coming by! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Hey Mary Ann, I wanted to know if you had step by step instruction on how to brine a whole chicken? Thanks

[pastryparrot1]

@Missyplaymate3 Rachel! I would go ahead and make this same brine - reduce the quantities - and use it for a chicken as well. It will work wonderfully! Hope all is well!

try using honey instead of sugar it will make the turkey even moister since honey is hydroscopic

Adding white wine as a subsitution for half the water is also yummy!

Also spanish mojo mix as a part of the brine with o.j makes for juicy & very flavorful bird :)

That sounds very interesting! I am grilling a turkey on Thanksgiving day and I might brine use this in the brine. Thanks! BTW I'll tape the grilled turkey and have it up on Friday! Happy Thanksgiving!
