Thread save with a beautiful turkey.
I made a test turkey a few weeks before thanksgiving (to try dry brining for the first time). Then made a turkey for thanksgiving. My daughter will be here next week. What does she want? Turkey. I will not be making turkey for Christmas. |

Here’s what I did… (long but super easy) Dry brined. Course kosher salt (NOT table salt). Use one tablespoon of salt for every 5 pounds of turkey. For my 24 lb turkey, I used: 5 tbs Morton COURSE kosher salt 1 tbs course ground pepper 1 tbs garlic powder 2 tbs brown sugar 1 tsp smoked paprika ^^you can add any other spices you’d like. I tried the first brine mixture with sage, thyme and orange zest. I removed those the second time and liked it better. I’d rather my sage and thyme come from the dressing (stuffing). Thaw turkey in the fridge if you buy it frozen (or if you freeze it yourself). Heritage turkey is best. Don’t pick up a turkey that is pre-brined or injected with salt. No self basting turkeys, which are already injected with salt. But you have to start with a thawed start to start brining. Loosen the skin on the breast. Break through the membrane that covers the breast so the brine gets to the meat. Put the brine under skin, in the cavity and over skin. I did two tsps in the cavity, 4 tsps under the skin (on the breast) and spread the remaining all over the skin of the breasts, legs, wings. Cover with Saran Wrap and put in fridge for 60 hours. Remove the covering and let sit uncovered in the fridge for another 12. (My timing for thanksgiving: Brine the bird 8:00 AM Monday morning. Cover and put in the fridge. Remove the covering 8:00 PM Wednesday night and back in the fridge. Pull from the fridge on Thursday morning, depending on when you’re putting it in the oven.) The day you are making it, pull out of fridge two hours before baking. I baked mine at 350° until the breast meat came to 160° (it will reach 165° as it rests.) I also kept a thermometer probe in the thigh but that turned out fine at 175° (180 after resting). I bake mine breast down for ½ the baking time. Flip halfway through the cook. (My 24 lb turkey took about 4 hours +/-) Get a good pair of silicone hot mitts and it’s easy to flip. Thermometer is a must. One probe into the breast one in the thigh. I use the Weber iGrill thermometer, which has an app for your phone to monitor temps. I don’t put stuffing in the bird. Instead, onions, celery, various aromatic herbs, a couple of oranges (quartered). Also half a stick of butter inside the carcass. Set aside some melted butter and baste the bird before you put in the oven and then again occasionally. Before putting the turkey in the oven, pour about an inch of chicken broth in the bottom of the roasting pan with more aromatics, onions, celery and carrots. Use that later to make gravy. (I roasted the turkey neck the night before with veggies and herbs. Used those drippings for the roux for the gravy on thanksgiving day.) I do cover the wing tips with pouches of foil so they don’t get too brown. If you notice the skin on the bird getting too brown, just cover with foil. |

Love it!
Here’s one I just cut open! It’s a 4lb wheel of fresh Manchego Cheese along with a small 3oz package of the best Jamon, from Spain. I order through La Tienda on line. |

Next time I cook one, I'm gonna try cutting the back bone out and grilling it. Works great on chicken.
