The Ultimate Thanksgiving Turkey Brine (pic)

I have my bird soaking in this for tomorrow in my UDS. Cant wait! Bump for TDay!
 
I plan to use this brine for my Thanksgiving turkey. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I am curious if a general purpose type rub would work well. Any suggestions on rub would be greatly appreciated!
 
Giving this one a whirl this year John, just whipped it up and it smells phenomenal!

The wifey said "Old BAY?" :tsk::tape::crazy:...uh I don't really like that:mmph:"

But once she smelled the brine she agreed it does smell good

I am interested to see how the 5 spice works along with the old bay

Just happened to have some 5 -spice from another recipe in the summer and some old bay from doing shrimp that I had to try it.

I think I may try a mild compound butter as well with the Turkey Breasts I am cooking tomorrow.
Again, thanks for sharing the recipe! - Cheers & Happy Turkey Day Brethren!:peace:

Just used this brine with Oakridge BBQ pork and chicken rub smoked with sugar maple. Winning combo right there I tell ya. Thanks John.

I used a half a batch for one boneless breast, four wings and four leg/thighs. I'll definitely be deconstructing my birds before cooking from now on.
 
I made a half batch of this brine this weekend and dunked a chicken in it. Didn't eat any of the chix until today and I gotta say :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: this is fanfarkingtastic! Really amazing result - just a great, full, rich flavor. I will be doing this over and over again - thanks so much for putting this up PD! :clap2: I really do enjoy your posts here and am truly grateful that you share your knowledge with us. :thumb:
 
That sounds delicious, looks even more delicious. I'm putting this on the menu for Christmas dinner.

You seem to know what you are doing with the camera. If I may ask, what are you using for lighting?

Do you mean the shot of the turkey, or the pot of brine on my blog?

I think I shot through an umbrella for the turkey, But I don't remember. The
pot was shot on my kitchen floor. I have four 36" 5500K fluorescent tubes for
overhead light in the kitchen.
