Thanksgiving. To me it means turkey, stuffing, gravy, and mashed potatoes. We love it in my house!
But we hate it, too. It can be so much work.
If you remember from Top Chef Season 5, I won best turkey on the Thanksgiving Day challenge. I'd like to share with you a way to make sure your turkey stays juicy and moist: Brining. Not only will your turkey look delectable, it will taste so moist and succulent, too! It is definitely something different to try, but so easy and delicious.
I think Thanksgiving is a great time to be ambitious and try something different...something you haven't done before.
Everyone will love your turkey. Happy Thanksgiving.
Citrus Brine
4 cups orange juice
2 cups salt
1 cup sugar
6 bay leaves
2T whole black peppercorns
12 sprigs thyme
4 cups water
Mix all together. Making sure sugar and salt dissolve. In a container large enough to fit a turkey pour brine over turkey. Do this 1 or 2 nights before roasting. You should rotate turkey once. When ready to roast, remove from brine and discard the brine. Season your turkey the way you normally do and roast.
Enjoy.
