I would like to brine a butterball Turkey with a apple brine do you think this is a good idea?
I used Harvest Brine on a Honeysuckle White whole turkey which is also enhanced. It was excellent. I think the enhancement is more for keeping the bird from drying out than it is to add flavor. The brine worked great.I have used wet brines with great success- PattioDaddio's and I have used Harvest Brine- a dry brine It is REALLY good stuff and much more convenient I do believe Butterball Turkeys are enhanced I dont know how that works with the brine
All great responses except no one says how they cook the bird after the brine. So--- how do you cook the bird. Anyone done it in a Big Easy?
Call me lazy but decided to not bother wet brining enhanced birds years back. IMO the only chickens/turkeys worth brining are ones that haven't been previously farked with.
