It’s turkey time, and everyone and their mama has their own recipe for a turkey. I personally like to keep it simple. I don’t want to do anything that is too confusing, no time consuming because I have a million other things to cook and bake. I like to start my turkey off with a simple brine. Don’t believe the hype, you don’t have to use buttermilk, and 15 thousand herbs and spices for a brine. You just need a couple key ingredients, and sweetie you are good to go.

This simple, and inexpensive brine will compete and be comparable to the other more “complicated” brines. All you have to do is brine your turkey overnight,  then season it in the morning. I have several ways on how to prepare your turkey, so be sure to check out all my recipes and compare!

      • It’s ok. I appreciate your honesty. I picked one up with the solution already injected and was in limbo whether to brine or not. Thank you for replying back to me. Take care and love your channel and website! I visit weekly. God bless you!!!

          • It’s ok I did it the brine anyway minus the amount of salt. I only used around a teaspoon of salt and added other personal seasonings that did not include salt to it. The turkey was extremely moist and delicious. Thank you for sharing again and all that you do.
