Brining A Turkey
Advertisement
Turkey is a mild-flavored meat that easily dries out during cooking. Brining a turkey – basically, bathing in salt water, sugar and seasoning – keeps it moist during cooking. Kosher turkeys have always been processed with salt. Whatever the brining method, wash off the brine well before cooking.
Ingredients:
1 14-16 pound turkey
1 cup kosher salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
