Your turkey sounds wonderf...Dear Brother No-Handle,<br />Your turkey sounds wonderful! I've wondered about brined turkey and how it would work out. Alton Brown is a good start for inspiration. I would love to do a guest post with your experiences with the brinded turkey...including that yummy sounding gravy. Want to send me a Word file and some photos via e-mail so I can post 'em?Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733838869805925920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36460660.post-88209126350679289292009-12-09T10:19:21.586-08:002009-12-09T10:19:21.586-08:00Notes on turkey cooking: For the first time I trie...Notes on turkey cooking: For the first time I tried brining our "natural" turkey this year. It browned much quicker than usual, but was flavorful, (relatively) moist and tender. The process was fairly easy, using a very large zip-top bag and a Coleman cooler that we use for camping and for keeping drinks cold around the holidays. Alton Brown of the Food Network has a good description on that site and the recipe I used for the brine was influenced by his.I can post it if you like. <br />I seldom use a browning bag, but do get the pop-up from our local cooking goods store (Peppercorn). I also don't usually use stuffing as it complicates getting fully cooked stuffing and bird, but make a dressing (same stuff) and heat it during the last 45 minutes or so of baking the bird, wrapped in foil or parchment. Because of the brining (I think) there was more juices for the gravy. I made a turkey fat and flour roue and added the juices to that. It came out perfectly, and is great for heating left-over meat, either with mashed potatoes (also may be left-overs) or open faced sandwiches. Just like our mom used to do.<br /><br />Brother No-handle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36460660.post-300189444639672282009-11-22T17:57:15.753-08:002009-11-22T17:57:15.753-08:00What an impressive round-up of recipes!
