I was hoping I would this year but it didn't work out. By the way that brine sounds good. I'll have to try that if I do a turkey again.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485042059054144801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079353478897306702.post-18136343309131384412007-11-19T14:05:00.000-08:002007-11-19T14:05:00.000-08:00Cute slide show! all those little people are growi...Cute slide show! all those little people are growing up so quickly. We just got to see three of them down here last weekend. You said you've never cooked a turkey before here is a great recipe for a brine to soak it (the whole turkey) in for 12 to 24 hours before cooking it. It makes it very juicy and tender. <BR/>1 1/2 gal.s cold water<BR/>3/4 cup brown sugar<BR/>1 cup coarse salt<BR/>1 1/2 cup maple syrup<BR/>Mix all together in a large container until sugar and salt dissolve, add turkey and marinate for 12 - 24 hours in refrigerator. Remove turkey to roaster cover w/ foil and cook at 350 until internal temp is 180 or higher.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079353478897306702.post-78083437580175832782007-11-19T13:10:00.000-08:002007-11-19T13:10:00.000-08:00sooooooooo adorablesooooooooo adorableAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
