"homemade turkey brine" news and stories

This Thanksgiving, whether you are roasting or smoking your holiday turkey, don't forget the most important step: brining.

Holiday magazines are filled with tips on how to prepare a perfect turkey, from wrapping the turkey in cheesecloth while cooking to rubbing the turkey with "dry brine."

I have experimented with almost every technique I have come across and in my opinion, the best method is good old-fashioned brining. Although you have to plan in advance, brining is an easy process that yields the most flavorful, juicy results.
