@Astonish70 Brining is the way to keep your guests smiling. I found a great container this year, check out the Briner. You can easily find it by searching -worked really well, it locked the turkey in the brine -no heavy bowl needed.. Highly recommend it.

Beware I was an excellent customer who renewed my contract long past the agreed years. When I switched to magic jack and canceled my service Monitronics refused to acknowledged the cancellation I year later I still get bills now they want 148 bucks for a year of service I didn't have!! They call my frineds and family trying to collect!!!

last year I did everything from scratch from alton's recipes - green bean cassarole, brined turkey, cranberry sauce, corn bread pudding...+ home made rolls, Challah wreath, pecan and pumpkin pie. took a week of prep and a day and a half of cooking, but the MOST AMAZING THAKSGIVING MEAL EVAH! If only we could get rid of the family drama...

[Astonish70]

Thanks for making my thanks giving freaking amazing!!! I made Alton's turkey, cranberry, brine, and apple pie recipe for Turkey Day. First time making everything (even though I cook alot) and it all turned out perfectly wonderful. Still having wet dreams about my turkeys white meat. mmmm.

I can't even count the number of dry turkeys I've eaten that required just as much, if not, more effort than this. What a shame.

@JesusFrankenstein dont stuff. do the brining method he says to do.

[drjj10]

@LLK843 brine the turkey like in the other videos he explains it well.

@valdamirie if you dont have a probe thermometer you're not gonna know if the inside of the bird is at 161 and if you guess then youre taking a chance of it being under cooked or over cooked and dry. he had a 14lb turkey but if you get a 20lb turkey then your time could be way off.

@JesusFrankenstein don't do the stuffing inside the bird with this method, as there's a chance the stuffing and bird don't cook thoroughly, making it a big bird of bacteria. just do the stuffing separately
