To get into the Thanksgiving and Christmas Festivities, share you holiday foods with all. I’ll start with the Thanksgiving turkeys.

on the home stretch…moved to roaster pans and basted with the juice from wired sheets. Added butter to inside cavities.

Follow up report…both turkeys where amazing….many compliments. Plus I usually DONT like my grilled food same day…it was so moist and tasty. I have to say it opened my eyes to brining poultry. I know there are nay sayers about wet brining…but I’m pretty much convinced.

Whatever works for you is Awesome!! Most store bought turkeys are already brined with an injected salt solution. I did three bone in breasts and one whole bird that I removed the legs and thighs to cook separate. Used Holy Voodoo on the whole bird which has a bit of salt, the breast were rubbed with olive oil and no salt herb mix. All were fantastic, moist and juicy. I do think the most important thing is not overcooking them.
