Salt Brined Turkey

  1. My mother always used to brine her turkey, as did my grandmother, and people always wanted to know why hers were so juicy and flavourful. She never let on about the brining!

  2. Sometimes less is more. It’s amazing how a simple salting (and peppering) goes a long way. Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving next weekend!
