Fresh or Frozen?

Too late. :roll:

:rolling: ...you are a goober!!! Can I go to bed now?

Don't worry...I understood you. completely! Should I call a doctor?? :blink:

UGHHH!!! I wish I was PUI. I have spent the last 2 hours trying to understand how an intelligent almost 14- year -old can be such a brainless butthead. I am probably the most angry and frustrated with him as I have ever been. Arrogant and lazy are 2 qualities that bug the crap out of me.:pissed:

OK. I feel better. Back to fresh or frozen. Fresh for me. I have always liked fresh. Fresh turkey, fresh flowers, fresh herbs, fresh fruit, fresh veggies, fresh air, fresh boys.:wub:

Help me out here, guys. How do you brine a turkey? I know it's a salt-water soak, but how much salt, how long, do you inject anything, etc?

Uh-oh???
By any chance, was a history project involved?

I've never done it myself, but thinking of trying it this year if i can't find a fried turkey. Whole Foods and Williams-Sonoma sell brine bags and seasoning mix to do it.

cooksillustrated.com has excellent roast turkey recipe, including brining. It's very easy to do - just let it soak in water with a LOT of salt in it, in a big pot in the fridge, I forget how long, etc. so easy though.

or just google turkey brining and see what you come up with. I can easily find my recipe and send it to you if you need it, just holler.

Thanks Tootsie! I'll Google it...I'm sure that if I can get the brine for boiling peanuts right, I can do this...😀

I haven't tried this one by Emeril, but would like to - the brining water includes salt and brown sugar, organge, lemon and herbs... sounds so good.

no, the turkey will stay cool enough in the cold water, inside the cooler, without ice. but, you can certainly add some ice or ice packs. why not?
