My sister-in-law introduced us to the process of brining a turkey and it has changed our Thanksgiving! I really appreciate knowing the science of why the brine soak works. I didn't realize that it cut the cooking time in half. Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving We had the same issue for years – dry turkey.

I really appreciate knowing the science of why the brine soak works. I didn't realize that it cut the cooking time in half.

Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving

I too brinned (sp?) a turkey last year and it was delicious! I had no left overs and people couldn't stop bragging of how good it was. I have to mention it looked beautiful just like the ones on the cooking shows and I felt so proud. I used alton's recipe too from his good eats show. I appreciate your thoughts on this turkey issue.
