The secret to a perfectly moist and delicious turkey lies in the prep. Taking extra the time to brine the turkey is well worth the effort. Since I started brining my turkeys I have never went back. They always come out so moist and flavorful compared to every other way I’ve tired. Turkey is such a lean and dry meat that is takes in the flavors of the brine quite nicely. All you need is a brine bag or a bucket and a little bit of time and you’ll have a turkey that has everyone raving!
